Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Doctor’s room
White walls
Bad news
Little screen
Says you were here
Then you weren’t
Empty chair
Where your tiny feet
Should’ve swung
Laughing at my old cartoons
[Pre-Chorus]
I fold my hands like tiny clothes
Lay them down on the side of the bed
I talk to someone nobody knows
Still answer questions in my head
[Chorus]
I built a paper crib in my mind
Rocking it slow through the hurting
Singing your name to the night
Even though I never heard it
If love alone could make you stay
You’d be sleeping on my chest today
So I keep this paper crib in my mind
Till the dream finally opens its eyes
[Verse 2]
Heating pad
On the floor at three
Counting months
On a calendar that’s stained
People ask
“When you gonna start?”
How do I say
I already did
And it drained?
[Pre-Chorus]
I light a match for every “why”
Watch the smoke write your middle name
I set a place at dinner time
For a ghost only I can claim
[Chorus]
I built a paper crib in my mind
Rocking it slow through the hurting
Singing your name to the night
Even though I never heard it
If love alone could make you stay
You’d be sleeping on my chest today
So I keep this paper crib in my mind
Till the dream finally opens its eyes
[Bridge]
Will you find me
If you’re meant for me? (oh)
In another month
In another body
I trace your face
On the inside of my skin
Say a quiet “when”
Instead of asking “if” again
[Chorus]
I built a paper crib in my mind
Rocking it slow through the hurting
Singing your name to the night
Even though I never heard it
If love alone could bring you home
You’d be laughing in this dimming glow
So I keep this paper crib in my mind
Till the dream finally opens its eyes
Till the dream
My baby dream
Opens its eyes
