On Paper

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,

LauraI couldn't ignore it

The name of my old love

It keeps ******* 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? 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

****, 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

Your mom told me

I got a letter,

Written from you, it's sitting on the dresser

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, its sitting on a dresser

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

I can't keep up, always playing catch up
