[Verse 1]
I found a paper cup
On the backseat floor
Had a little red stripe
And a dent by the door
You said, "keep it"
Like it meant something
Now it's in my hand
Like a small lucky ring
[Pre-Chorus]
And I swear
It still feels new
When I spin it slow
I think of you
[Chorus]
Paper cup parade
Paper cup parade
Holding little gold
In a paper shade
Paper cup parade
Paper cup parade
One small thing
And I’m okay
[Verse 2]
On the corner market
By the cracked blue sign
I bought a peach ring
And a ginger lime
You laughed in the checkout
When I dropped the change
Now the whole damn day
Keeps your shape
[Pre-Chorus]
And I swear
It still feels new
When I spin it slow
I think of you
[Chorus]
Paper cup parade
Paper cup parade
Holding little gold
In a paper shade
Paper cup parade
Paper cup parade
One small thing
And I’m okay
[Bridge]
If the world goes loud
I keep it near
A little crushed-up cup
A little souvenir
Hold it to the light
See the red line glow
Nothing fancy
Still it helps me go
[Chorus]
Paper cup parade
Paper cup parade
Holding little gold
In a paper shade
Paper cup parade
Paper cup parade
One small thing
And I’m okay
