We Look Good on Paper
Guess I must have pissed you off, you haven't texted back since god knows when
Maybe it's just in my head, paranoia seems to be kicking in
There I go again
What can I say? I've gotten used to talking to you everyday
And now I wish you'd call me, tell me it's okay
I can't stand not having you around
Sitting by that pond, talking until dawn, smoking cigarettes
It seems this was fated to be doomed before it even really had a chance
But you need a friend
And I'm ready for this bitter loneliness to end
And it feels so comfortable holding your hand
And I can't stand not having your around
The fact remains, when I'm with you I can't separate my heart and brains
Your waves are crashing 'round me and I can't contain
The impulse to just breathe them in and drown
We look good on paper, don't we? Too bad the timing is all wrong
There's no point in dwelling on it, I'd rather have a friend than have you gone
Guidelines were in place to keep these kinds of things from happening, but there it is
Neither of us looking for this kind of thing to happen, but here it is
The fact remains, when I'm with you I can't separate my heart and brains
Your waves are crashing 'round me and I can't contain
The impulse to just breathe them in and drown
We look good on paper, don't we? Too bad the timing is all wrong
Maybe it's just in my head, paranoia seems to be kicking in
There I go again
What can I say? I've gotten used to talking to you everyday
And now I wish you'd call me, tell me it's okay
I can't stand not having you around
Sitting by that pond, talking until dawn, smoking cigarettes
It seems this was fated to be doomed before it even really had a chance
But you need a friend
And I'm ready for this bitter loneliness to end
And it feels so comfortable holding your hand
And I can't stand not having your around
The fact remains, when I'm with you I can't separate my heart and brains
Your waves are crashing 'round me and I can't contain
The impulse to just breathe them in and drown
We look good on paper, don't we? Too bad the timing is all wrong
There's no point in dwelling on it, I'd rather have a friend than have you gone
Guidelines were in place to keep these kinds of things from happening, but there it is
Neither of us looking for this kind of thing to happen, but here it is
The fact remains, when I'm with you I can't separate my heart and brains
Your waves are crashing 'round me and I can't contain
The impulse to just breathe them in and drown
We look good on paper, don't we? Too bad the timing is all wrong
