[Verso 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
And you said, Laura
I couldn't ignore it
The name of my old love
It keeps fucking me up
[Coro]
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
[Verso 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
A thought flew in 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
[Coro]
[Verso 3]
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
[Coro] x2
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
