[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
Phong cách âm nhạc
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.
