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
