On Paper Lyrics

This is the culmination of all you did

All you've been and all you could be

This could open doors which close behind

Summarise your brief existence

Get it down to names and numbers

Your awkwardness obscured, your potential shines

On paper

It's going to be just fine

On paper

You're one to bear in mind

Started young and made some headway

Be the big fish in the top stream

The only way is down now to the coast

Then years later and you've got so far

How many chances has the document bought you?

How many options are now firmly closed?

On paper

Automatic pass

On paper

You should be up to the task

Are you the imposter, a dilettante?

Like a pigeon trapped in someone's loft

You got up there somehow

Blue blue skies await you

If you find a way to pass through this stage

And past form suggests you know how

On paper

It's going to be just fine

On paper

You're one to bear in mind

On paper

Automatic pass

On paper

You should be up to the task
