Electric Paper Heart

[Intro]

[soft swell

Distant drums building]

Running through the headlines in my head

Every little word you never said

Coffee on the counter going cold

We were brighter than the stories we were told

[Verse 1]

You left your jacket on my chair

Ticket stub and something in the air

Laughing at the movies in the dark

Didn’t see the match become a spark

[Chorus]

You’re my electric paper heart

Folding all your edges into stars

Every little scribble

Every scar

Lights me up

Lights me up from afar

You’re my electric paper heart

Crinkled from the way we fall apart

Still I keep you hidden in my drawer

Read you

Then I read you once more (oh-oh)

Then you spelled goodbye inside my name

I still hear your keys outside my door

Folding all your edges into stars

Every little scribble

Every scar

Lights me up

Lights me up from afar

You’re my electric paper heart

Crinkled from the way we fall apart

Still I keep you hidden in my drawer

Read you

Then I read you once more (yeah, yeah)

[Bridge]

If I tear you up

Will I feel less?

If I tape you back

Is that progress?

Tell me

Are you out there keeping mine?

Tucked behind a photo

Frozen time (oh)

[Chorus]

You’re my electric paper heart

Folding all your edges into stars

Every little scribble

Every scar

Lights me up

Lights me up from afar

You’re my electric paper heart

Crinkled from the way we fall apart

Still I keep you hidden in my drawer

Read you

Then I read you once more (once more)

(You’re my electric, electric heart)
