Paroles
[Verse 1]
You left your sweater on my chair
Smelled like summer in cold air
I washed it twice, it stayed the same
Little ghost with your first name
[Chorus]
Paper crown kisses
Falling apart on my floor
You always leave pieces
I always sweep up yours
You say you keep your distance
But you’re pressed against my door
Paper crown kisses
I don’t wear them anymore
[Verse 2]
We played pretend on unpaid time
Shared a bed, drew separate lines
You called me clever, called me kind
Then called a taxi, changed your mind
[Chorus]
Paper crown kisses
Falling apart on my floor
You always leave pieces
I always sweep up yours
You say you keep your distance
But you’re pressed against my door
Paper crown kisses
I don’t wear them anymore
[Bridge]
You only love me
In the in-between
Hallway hush
Coffee steam
You only want me
When the lights are wrong
Half a heart
And half a song (oh)
[Chorus]
Paper crown kisses
Falling apart on my floor
You always leave pieces
I always sweep up yours
You say you keep your distance
But you’re pressed against my door
Paper crown kisses
I don’t wear them anymore
You left your sweater on my chair
Smelled like summer in cold air
I washed it twice, it stayed the same
Little ghost with your first name
[Chorus]
Paper crown kisses
Falling apart on my floor
You always leave pieces
I always sweep up yours
You say you keep your distance
But you’re pressed against my door
Paper crown kisses
I don’t wear them anymore
[Verse 2]
We played pretend on unpaid time
Shared a bed, drew separate lines
You called me clever, called me kind
Then called a taxi, changed your mind
[Chorus]
Paper crown kisses
Falling apart on my floor
You always leave pieces
I always sweep up yours
You say you keep your distance
But you’re pressed against my door
Paper crown kisses
I don’t wear them anymore
[Bridge]
You only love me
In the in-between
Hallway hush
Coffee steam
You only want me
When the lights are wrong
Half a heart
And half a song (oh)
[Chorus]
Paper crown kisses
Falling apart on my floor
You always leave pieces
I always sweep up yours
You say you keep your distance
But you’re pressed against my door
Paper crown kisses
I don’t wear them anymore
Style de musique
Melancholic indie rock with female vocals; dry, upfront lead and airy doubles. Chiming, chorus-kissed guitars over a steady mid-tempo groove and melodic bass. Verses stay tight and intimate, then the chorus widens with fuzzier rhythm guitars and soft synth pads. Drums keep a driving but restrained feel, opening slightly in the bridge with toms and reverby backing vocals before dropping back into a bittersweet, singalong final chorus.
