Paper Cups

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

Call it what you want (all in my head)
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

Hand me a lighter
I'm in the dark
Everything's perfect
Falling apart, falling apart
Louder and louder

The waves in my ears
All the blood pounding an endless beat
'Til the purpose disappears

Call it what you want (all in my head)
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

Cut through the chaos
Cut through the noise
Cut to the feeling
Choking my voice
Colour it in
Gave it a name
Found the centre
Of the sound again

Call it what you want (all in my head)
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
