[Verse 1] You left your keys in my bowl Next to the chipped blue mug I caught your name in the hallway Like a thread in an old rug
Your coat still hangs by the door One sleeve turned inside out I keep the small things moving So they don't call you out
[Pre-Chorus] And I tell myself, be still Let the house keep your shape But every room says your name In a different way
[Chorus] Wear your paper crown Don't let it fall down Hold that wild heart high Even when you're tired Wear your paper crown I can see you now Rising from the floor Like you did before
[Verse 2] The lemons went soft in the sink I forgot to throw them away Your shoes on the mat by the window Make the whole place sway
I learned how silence can ring When it wants something back I walk that line in the kitchen And step on your tracks
[Pre-Chorus] And I tell myself, be still Let the house keep your shape But every room says your name In a different way
[Chorus] Wear your paper crown Don't let it fall down Hold that wild heart high Even when you're tired Wear your paper crown I can see you now Rising from the floor Like you did before
[Bridge] If the world goes hard on you Let it hit my door I'll be the bench by the window I'll be the guard on the floor
[Final Chorus] Wear your paper crown Don't let it fall down Hold that wild heart high Even when you're tired Wear your paper crown I can see you now Rising from the floor Like you did before
Phong cách âm nhạc
Pop ballad with mid-tempo pulse, syncopated kick and finger snaps in verses; pre-chorus lifts with open hats and layered harmonies; chorus blooms into wide drums, stacked vocal doubles, and a soaring synth line. Verse stays close-mic and intimate, bridge strips to piano and breathy lead before the final chorus returns with ad-lib echoes, reversed swells, and a bright, punchy mix.
