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 pulled you away You were so perfectly pretty, I could love every mistake At the end of the night, I asked you your name You said "Laura" - I couldn't ignore it The name of my old love 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 make up on If I flew in through the front door, you were so happy to see it And you were telling me about everything you saw on tour And I said "know this: I'll listen to your records I'll keep you in my head" Shit you've 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 14 I got a letter written from you, it's sitting on the 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 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 14 I got a letter written from you, it's sitting on the dresser
