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.
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.
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.
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
