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 a thought flew in 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 fourteenth, I got a letter, Written from you, it's sitting on the dresser (X2)
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 May fourteenth, I got a letter, Written from you, it's sitting on the dresser (X2)
