Intro: 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. 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. 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. Solo: I can't keep up, always playing catch up. Talking to you right now would be too much. 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 fourteenth i got a letter written from you, it's sitting on the dresser But on paper, i could write it out for you. On paper, i could draw you a picture.
