[Lyric] Paper Mache (Dan Kanvis)

[Verse]
I’ve never seen a perfect constellation
Nobody needs a hero out of you
Some days I wish I could trade places
I feel like I’d be better off as you

[Chorus]
Layer my arms in paper mache
Lay in my arms like you did yesterday
Lay in my arms until we wake
A week is not long
Layer my arms in paper mache
Lay in my arms like you did yesterday
Lay in my arms until we wake
A week is not long
It’s 5 days

[Bridge]
I always change my mind
I could fall on lies
I prefer alone
But when I
Sit down by your side
I feel like who I am
I don’t wanna go home
[Verse]
I showed up on my day off
I’m content with a let down
My head was pressed on the window
I write your name in the fog
I stare out while the trees blur
I used to always get car sick
I might puke in a Wendy’s
And go back to a dream

(Oooeww ah ha haa)

I always pray to be picked out a crowd
Never raise my voice and expect to be loud
Sat across the room, she was distant and proud
Imagine what it feels like to never look down
I hug the wall like an old friend
Walk around the basement anxious until I’m lost
A doberman barks inside
I didn’t grow up with pets
I don’t know how to act
Grip my teens in defense
Let it bleed to a scab
Let it be what it is
Time waits for no man
Sweaty palm slow dance
Didn’t get the kiss but I swore I felt the romance
You’re not like Jessica Biel
You’re not like anyone else
We might study for a test but we don’t really hang out
Leave a hole for my nose
Leave a hole for my mouth
So I can breath when you’re not around
[Chorus]
Layer my arms in paper mache
Lay in my arms like you did yesterday
Lay in my arms I’ll keep you safe (I’ll keep you safe)
A week is not long (hey)
Layer my arms in paper mache (paper mache)
Lay in my arms like you did yesterday (yesterday)
Lay in my arms I’ll keep you safe
A week is not long
It’s five days

[Refrain]
I promise I won’t hang with the bad one
No rotten eggs in the basket
Don’t lie
I promise I won’t hang with the bad ones (go ahead cut me down)
No rotten eggs in the basket (go ahead cut me down)
Don’t lie (go ahead cut me down)

[Bridge]
I, always change my mind
I could fall on lies
I prefer alone
But when I
Sit down by your side
I feel like who I am
I don’t wanna go home
