Arkells - On Paper lyrics

rate me

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

? 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

? 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

? I got a letter,

Written from you, it's sitting on the dresser

(X2)
