Broken cups and balls of string
Are in a paper bag
I show my heart to everyone
And they just seem so sad
You can cry if you wanna
You can't break them down
Everyone's got a million places to be but where are they bound
Everything that you have wasted shuttles by so fast
If you open doors for those who linger they might open back
You can try if you wanna
But they won't slow down
Cause everyone's got a million reasons to be so tightly wound
Broken cups and broken dreams
Are in a paper bag
Balls of string and bones and wings
Might be all you have
You can sing if you wanna
But they can't hear the song
Everyone's got a million places to be except where they belong
You can sing if you wanna
No they don't mind
Cause everyone's got a million places to be they'll never find
Broken cups bones and wings
In a paper bag
I show my heart to everyone
And they just seem so sad
Balls of string and broken dreams
Might be all you have
