BLACK LINES ON MY PAPER

SAD WORDS ON MY MIND

IF YOU COULD READ BETWEEN THE LINES I WRITE

MAYBE YOU WOULDN'T BE SO BLIND

YOU DRAW LINES BETWEEN US

THAT I CAN'T CROSS OR EVEN FIND

LIKE A MOTE THAT WRAPS AROUND YOUR HEART

THAT QUELLS THE RHYTHM OF MY RHYME

 

RHYME

RHYME

 

WHITE LINES ON THE HIGHWAY

RED LINES IN MY EYES

FROM TEARS THAT FALL DOWN ONE STRAIGHT LINE

FROM YOUR DOOR STEP BACK TO MINE

SWEET WORDS YOU CAST AND CAUGHT ME

I HUNG ON EVERY LINE

LINES THAT LEAVE ME WOUNDED NOW

WHO EVER THOUGHT YOU'D BE SO UNKIND

 

LINES LINES

LINES LINES

 

NOW ALL I HEAR ARE BLUE NOTES THAT ECHO BACK TO ME

THE CIRCLE HAS BEEN BROKEN AND IT'S ALL GONE OUT OF KEY

ONLY BI LINES LEFT TO WRITE NOW

COLUMN LOVE AND MYSTERY

AND THE HEADLINES THEY WILL DISAPPEAR LIKE THE LOVE YOU HAD FOR ME

YEAH OH OH
