Paper Moon Skin

[Intro]
[Verse]
Sorting through a plastic bin
Where the dust is getting thin
Found a ticket from the prom
Kept it hidden from my mom
Corsage dried up in the box
Next to mismatched woolly socks
I don’t recognize the name
On the back of the picture frame
[Chorus]
I don’t wear that skin no more
Left it on the bedroom floor
Growing up is quiet work
Finding where the shadows lurk
I’m a new shape, I suppose
In these thrifted oversized clothes
[Post-Chorus]
New shape, new clothes
That’s just how the feeling goes
New shape, new clothes
Everyone already knows
[Verse]
Walked past the old soccer field
Wondering if the grass had healed
I used to run until I cried
Kept the heavy parts inside
Now I take the long way home
Feeling fine to be alone
Coffee tastes like actual beans
Instead of sugar and the scenes
[Pre-Chorus]
These Casio keys are out of tune
Underneath a paper moon
I’m learning how to breathe again
Without the ghost of who I’ve been
[Chorus]
I don’t wear that skin no more
Left it on the bedroom floor
Growing up is quiet work
Finding where the shadows lurk
I’m a new shape, I suppose
In these thrifted oversized clothes
[Bridge]
It’s a slow and steady burn
Waiting for my luck to turn
Small discoveries in my tea
Finding out what’s left of me
I’m not the girl in the frame
Even if I keep the name
It’s okay to let it go
Moving fast by moving slow
[Break]
[Verse]
I found a pen that actually writes
To document these quiet nights
The field hum is a comfort now
I survived it all somehow
High school felt like holding breath
Scared of some social kind of death
But the window’s open wide
And I like the me inside
[Chorus]
I don’t wear that skin no more
Left it on the bedroom floor
Growing up is quiet work
Finding where the shadows lurk
I’m a new shape, I suppose
In these thrifted oversized clothes
[Post-Chorus]
New shape, new clothes
That’s just how the feeling goes
New shape, new clothes
Everyone already knows
[Outro]
