Paper Cups

[Verse 1]

Where did I leave it, that look in your eye

Tattooed the memory to the back of my mind, back of my mind

Something elusive, cannot pin down

Like a gentle breeze, a tidal wave

You got me anyway, anyhow

[Chorus]

Call it what you want

Tell me things too loud to hear

Collect all my words in paper cups

And fill me up (Fill me back up)

Sipping on your sympathy and

Pouring out my heart in paper cups

[Verse 2]

Hand me a lighter, I’m in the dark

Everything's perfect and falling apart, falling apart

Louder and louder, the waves in my ears

All the blood pounding an endless beat

Until the purpose disappears

[Chorus]

Call it what you want

Tell me things too loud to hear

Collect all my words in paper cups

And fill me up (Fill me back up)

Sipping on your sympathy and

Pouring out my heart in paper cups

[Bridge]

Cut through the chaos

Cut through the noise

Cut to the feeling

Choking my voice

Colour it in, I gave it a name

Then found the centre of the sound again

[Chorus]

Call it what you want

Tell me things too loud to hear

Collect all my words in paper cups

And fill me up (Fill me back up)

Sipping on your sympathy and

Pouring out my heart in paper cups
