Lyrics
Paper Cup
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Wishful thinking I might be yours
Drifting on every step
I'm always drawn to the dark horse
sweet, sweet , oh nothing's said
And every dream, every, is just a dream after all
And everything stands so still when you dance
Everything spins so fast
And the night's in a paper cup
When you want it to last
Wishful thinking you might be mine
Every shiver sends
One breath under the bridge of sighs
Bending where the river bends
And every dream, every, is just a dream after all
And everything stands so still when you dance
Everything spins so fast
And the night's in a paper cup
When you want it to last
