On Paper
I was floating across the dance floor, I was trying to think of something to say
When I went up to your girlfriend's and I pulled you away
You were so perfectly pretty, and I could love every mistake
And 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 can write it out for you
On paper, I can draw you a picture
On paper, I can 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 a thought flew in through the front door
And you were so happy to see it
And you were telling me about everything you saw on tour
And I said, know this, I listen to your records
I'll keep you in my head, yeah
Shit, you probably got a boyfriend
But on paper, I can write it out for you
On paper, I can draw you a picture
On paper, I can 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
On May 14th, I've got a letter written from you
It's sitting on the dresser
And I can't keep up, always playing catch up
Talking to you right now would be too much
On May 14th, I've got a letter written from you
It's sitting on the dresser
On paper, I can write it out for you
On paper, I can draw you a picture
On paper, I can finish any story with any ending you please
On paper, I can write it out for you
On paper, I can draw you a picture
On paper, I can finish any story with any ending you please
Oh, I can't keep up, always playing catch up
Talking to you right now would be too much
On May 14th, I got a letter written from you
It's sitting on the dresser
And I can't keep up, always playing catch up
Talking to you right now would be too much
On May 14th, I got a letter written from you
It's sitting on the dresser
On paper, I can't keep up, always playing catch up
Talking to you right now would be too much
On May 14th, I got a letter written from you
