Cardboard Crown
Style: Brass band

[Verse 1]
Oil is pooling by the boxes
paper plates still in their wrap
someone's folding you a crown now
cardboard sceptre, cardboard cap

[Chorus]
Everly, put the crown on
wear it crooked, wear it proud
we've been saving up this moment
Everly, sing it loud

[Verse 2]
Nobody planned it neat or shiny
concrete floor and stacked up crates
but we'd choose this over palaces
we'd choose you over gold and gates

[Pre-chorus]
Hear the trumpets start to gather
hear the room begin to hum
something's turning into music

[Chorus]
Everly, put the crown on
wear it crooked, wear it proud
we've been saving up this moment
Everly, sing it loud

[Bridge]
Every plate held up like treasure
every voice a bit off key
you're the reason we're all standing
right here, exactly where we'd be

[Chorus]
Everly, put the crown on
wear it crooked, wear it proud
we've been saving up this moment
Everly, sing it loud

[Outro]
Oil still shines beside the boxes
and the crown still fits you now
