[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus 1]
And you said, "Laura" I couldn't ignore it
The name of my old love it keeps fucking me up
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
If I flew in through the front door
You were so happy to see it
You were telling me about everything you saw on tour
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And I said, "Know this: I listen to your records, I keep you in my head" yeah
Shit, you've probably got a boyfriend
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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 14th, I got a letter written from you, it's sitting on the dresser
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
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 14th, I got a letter written from you, it's sitting on the dresser
