Paper Crown Street Walk

I thread my mourning from a pocket of light

A secondhand sparkle in the soft gray street

Buttons like moonstones catch in the sight

I wear my courage where the city can see

He says, you walk like you already know

She laughs, make the pavement made room just for us

We make a small world out of the afterglow

And every corner starts to hum and plush

I wear confidence like handmade costume

Stitch by stitch, I'm making mine

Turn an ordinary street into a private parade hoop

And suddenly the whole block shines

You and me in the middle of the motion

Close the nose to hear our hearts collide

I wear confidence like a handmade costume

And I don't need a stage tonight

Past the bakery windows and the bicycle racks

We salute the day with a borrowed grin

Your hand on my sleeve, no looking back

We let the bright little trouble begin

I wear confidence like a handmade costume

Stitch by stitch, I'm making mine

Turn an ordinary street into a private parade room

And suddenly the whole block shines

You and me in the middle of an ocean

Close enough to hear our hearts collide

I wear confidence like a handmade costume

And I don't need a stage tonight

If the world once polished, we'd come as we are

Tape on the hem and a light in seams

Laughing like mischief under the stars

Strutting through the seams of a waking dream

I wear confidence like a hand-me costume

Stitch-by-stitch you, I make it mine

Turn an ordinary street into a private parade room

And suddenly the whole block shines

You and me in the middle of emotion

Close enough to hear our hearts collide

I wear confidence like a handmade costume

And I don't need a stage, goodnight
