Lyrics
ON PAPER
(1)
IF THEY WROTE A STORY ABOUT US,
HERE IS THE WAY IT WOULD READ:
A FAIRYTALE ROMANCE,
THERE'S NO WAY IT WON'T SUCCEED.
IF YOU COULD READ WHAT THEY'VE WRITTEN.
YOU WOULD SAY WE HAVE IT MADE.
WE MAY BE PERFECT ON PAPER,
BUT, THAT'S NOT WHERE LOVE'S GAME IS PLAYED
CHORUS
WE DON'T LOVE ON PAPER.
IT'S NOT BLACK AND WHITE IT'S HARD TO LIVE UP TO
GOOD THINGS THEY WRITE. WE WON'T EVER TELL THEM
WHAT THEY WRITE IS WRONG.
AND IT'S NOT WORTH THE PAPER
IT'S WRITTEN ON.
(2)
WHEN WE'RE OUT TOGETHER WE'RE ALL SMILES.
SOMETIMES WE HOLD HANDS A LOT.
WE'RE ALWAYS PRETENDING,
WE'RE SOMETHING WE KNOW WE'RE NOT.
WE SHED OUR TEARS ON THE INSIDE.
OUTSIDE THERE'S NEVER A TRACE.
WE ALWAYS LOOK GOOD ON PAPER, BUT, SO MUCH WE'D LIKE TO ERASE.
REPEAT CHORUS
