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 and falling apart, falling apart
Louder and louder like waves in my ears
All the blood pounding an endless beat
Till 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
I gave it a name
Then 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
