paper boy Lyrics

My mama always told me how I loved to play pretend

And daddy didn't stay around to teach me about men

But praise to God above I've got this creativity

And I can make a lover perfect every way for me, oh

Paper boy, I know you're perfect for me

Cause I wrote your whole story

On the canvas of my mind, oh

Paper boy, it's true you'll never meet me

Cause you're composed completely

Like this song you've been comprised

Of all my silly little thoughts dancing in my skull

I'm unsure how much is true but this I know

You're not real

So I think that I just might be a liar

It's not ideal

But at this point I'm not sure love is either

Now I've got pen and paper, babe, all we need are the rings

And we can dance along to every shitty song I sing

Cause you're a masterpiece made up of love and chivalry

And I don't know of love without a bit of fantasy, so

Paper boy, I know you're perfect for me

Cause I wrote your whole story

On the canvas of my mind, oh

Paper boy, it's true you'll never meet me

Cause you're composed completely

Like this song you've been comprised

Of all my silly little thoughts dancing in my skull

I'm unsure how much is true but this I know

You're not real

So I think that I just might be a liar

It's not ideal

But at this point I'm not sure love is either

And paper boy blows me away

But paper crumbles when it rains

And paper tears and paper fades

Til' no more paper love remains

And paper boy has gone away

Now my heart's heavy paperweight

I made him up with tears and glue

He's perfect love

But he's not you

He's not real

So I think that I just might be a liar

It's not ideal

But I don't think that perfect love is either
