On Paper
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I was floating across the dance floor
I was trying to think of something to say
When i went up to your girlfriends
And i pulled you away
You were so perfectly pretty
I could love every mistake
At the end of the night, yeah
I asked you your name
And you said, laura
I couldn't ignore it
The name of my old love
It keeps fucking me up
But on paper, i could write it out for you
On paper, i could draw you a picture
On paper, i could finish any story with any ending you please
And i saw you in a dream in the morning
It's the only time i can remember
You were sitting at my kitchen table with no makeup on
And i through the front door
You were so happy to see it
You were telling me about everything you saw on tour
And i said, know this
I listen to your records
I keep you in my head, yeah
Shit, you probably got a boyfriend
But on paper, i could write it out for you
On paper, i could draw you a picture
On paper, i could finish any story with any ending you please
I can't keep up, always playing catch up
Talking to you right now would be too much
May 14th i got a letter,
Written from you, it's sitting on the dresser (2x)
On paper, i could write it out for you
On paper, i could draw you a picture
On paper, i could finish any story with any ending you please
But on paper, i could write it out for you
On paper, i could draw you a picture
On paper, i could finish any story with any ending you please
