Paper Umbrellas

(앨범: Standing Room Only - 2023)

I ducked in that little tiki bar
Thinking I'd ride out the storm
She was spinning pink and yellow paper umbrellas
And holding up her hand to have one more

I stood and watched her sipping, crying
Flipping through old pictures on her phone
I said, hey, is this seat taken?
I hate for to have to alone

She cracked a smile, said, sit here if you want
I said, I don't mean to pry, but girl you're doing this all wrong

It's gonna take a lot of piña coladas
If you're gonna drink him off your mind
I'll sit here a little longer
And get us something stronger
Something that'll work in half the time

Cause when love don't shine like you thought it would
Ain't nothing quite like good tequila straight
To chase the clouds away
Yeah, girl, I'm here to tell ya
Paper umbrellas look good on top
But they won't stop the rain

She dropped her straw back in that hourglass
And said, I guess it's worth a shot
I said, lightning, it don't mix with
Any kind of fishing
So, girl, I'm guessing time is all I've got

But tonight you need a friend and nothing more
I know what helps a heart to heal, girl
I've been there before

It's gonna take a lot of piña coladas
If you're gonna drink him off your mind
I'll sit here a little longer
And get us something stronger
Something that'll work in half the time

Cause when love don't shine like you thought it would
Ain't nothing quite like good tequila straight
To chase the clouds away
Yeah, girl, I'm here to tell ya
Paper umbrellas look good on top
But they won't stop the rain

Yeah, when love don't shine like you thought it would
Ain't nothing quite like good tequila straight
To chase the clouds away
Yeah, all them pink and yellow paper umbrellas
Look good on top
But they won't stop the rain
