Paperback (Demo) Lyrics

I took you to this viewpoint yesterday Impulsively, so you wouldn't leave so quickly

Left for the East Coast at nine this morning Please remember me while you're running round NYC

For the first time I heard adoration in your voice Went down my spine and read my mind

Pray it's not my own imagination It's your choice to see me as the love of your life

Never felt this way before Trusting in you when you walk out that door

That it's only a matter of time till I'm yours and we're falling forward

Terrified of getting hurt But I'd break my own heart if it meant I could learn

If your feelings are louder when I am around But for now, you gave me this paperback

And I think I love you I can see us wandering round in a strand

Hand in hand, foreign literature section we don't understand

Book bags stacked with cliches and abstracts Reading side by side in the park till the sky turns to dark

It's taking every ounce of willpower To hold me back from booking a flight

Be there in five to six hours God, I wanna see you tonight

Meet me at the top of the Bowery Whiskey sour without the egg white

Give me twenty to a half hour To scour the couch cushions with a flashlight

I can come up with the money Don't you know you're priceless to me

And I'll find my way back to you before you can play this

Go downtown and take out a loan Cause even if I end up reading alone

I'll turn every page every day hoping you'll find your way home

Never felt this way before Trusting in you when you walk out that door

That it's only a matter of time till I'm yours And we're falling forward

Terrified of getting hurt But I'd break my own heart if it meant I could learn

If your feelings are louder when I am around But for now

You gave me this paperback And I think I love you

You gave me this paperback And I think I love you
