Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] Found it by the frozen peas Dancing in a quiet breeze Scribbled ink on yellowed page A little piece of middle age One dozen eggs and butter sticks A quick fix for the lonely kicks [Chorus] I read between the lines For all the secret signs A life in black and white Hidden in the neon light Just a crinkled paper trail A tiny, quiet, human tale [Verse] "Birthday candles, heavy cream" Someone chasing down a dream Maybe for a five-year-old With a heart of solid gold Or maybe just for one alone Eating cake beside the phone [Pre-Chorus] Small sorrows in the cart Tugging at a stranger's heart I keep them in a wooden box Next to all my mismatched socks [Chorus] I read between the lines For all the secret signs A life in black and white Hidden in the neon light Just a crinkled paper trail A tiny, quiet, human tale [Hook] Milk and honey, bread and wine I wish your grocery list was mine Milk and honey, bread and wine Everything is doing fine [Bridge] Sometimes the ink begins to fade Like every promise ever made "Call your mother, buy the soap" A shopping list of quiet hope I'm just a ghost in aisle four Looking for a little more [Verse] "Midnight snacks and ginger ale" A ship that's never gonna sail They forgot the paper towels While the city wind just howls I see you in the checkout line Your secret world is now mine [Chorus] I read between the lines For all the secret signs A life in black and white Hidden in the neon light Just a crinkled paper trail A tiny, quiet, human tale [Post-Chorus] A tiny, quiet, human tale A paper ship that's set to sail Just a crinkled paper trail I'm reading every small detail [Outro]
