Paper Cups in the Morning

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

Frost on the window by the door

Paper cups left on the nightstand

I traced your name into the morning air

Before it faded out again

Pre-Chorus

And I keep the radio low

Hoping static brings you home

But nothing comes through

Nothing comes through

Chorus

And the winter keeps on calling

Soft and slow like falling snow

I let the quiet hold me

I let the quiet hold me

Verse 2

Photographs in cardboard boxes

Underneath the porch light glow

Your jacket hanging in the closet still

Smells like smoke and afterglow

Pre-Chorus

And I walk the same old road

Past the fences and the pines

Nothing left to show

Nothing left to show

Chorus

And the winter keeps on calling

Soft and slow like falling snow

I let the quiet hold me

I let the quiet hold me

Bridge

Small town weather on my tongue

Every mile a memory sung

I say your name to the empty field

And the ground just keeps on still

Chorus

And the winter keeps on calling

Soft and slow like falling snow

I let the quiet hold me

I let the quiet hold me
