paper cup lottery

I found a note in my coat

Folded by a stranger’s hand

Just one word in the middle “Try”

That was all it said

I took the long way home Through the market by the train

Bought a cup of blackberries

And let the day fall off my face

Now my name feels lighter Like it’s learning how to spin

Every little wrong turn Could be where the door begins

Roll it, roll it,

roll it That’s the paper cup lottery Hold it,

hold it, hold it Maybe luck is calling me

Spin that little story Till it lands where I can breathe

Roll it, roll it,

roll it That’s the paper cup lottery (yeah)

You were leaning on the fence

With a grin and two clean shoes

Said, “You always look like rain” I

said, “Maybe that’s the clue”

We split a bag of sunflower seeds And watched the buses go

You laughed when I said “random” Like you already knew the joke

Now the whole street’s sparkling In a cheap and honest way Like

every cracked-up second Is a coin I get to save

Roll it, roll it,

roll it That’s the paper cup lottery

Hold it, hold it,

hold it Maybe luck is calling me

Spin that little story Till it lands where I can breathe

Roll it, roll it,

roll it That’s the paper cup lottery

If it tips left,

I’ll take it

If it tips right,

I’ll stay

I don’t need a golden answer Just a sign I’m on my

way

Roll it, roll it,

roll it That’s the paper cup lottery

Hold it, hold it,

hold it Maybe luck is calling me

Spin that little story Till it lands where I can breathe

Roll it, roll it,

roll it That’s the paper cup

look

Paper cup lottery... Yeah,

spin that story.
