Parchment

I could spend the next forty years with you Trying to take down all the little things you do Trying to capture your heart on a piece of parchment Staring out on the city from a beat-up apartment We don't have a parchment love No we don't have a parchment love We'll start with every day if that's enough for you It seems short after all we've been through We're running through life this is life at its best And your heart is the same as the one in my chest But we don't have a parchment love No we don't have a parchment love We don't have a parchment love We don't have a parchment love I love better on paper my dear This whole time that has been my greatest fear Would flood or would flame rend our love asunder Could you tell me what spell do you have me under I'm still trying to understand A parchment love's not what I planned So tell me have I fallen far A parchment love's not all we are Take this paper Take this pen All I want is for you to Take my hand Let's walk through this life Feel the sand in our toes Let's laugh till the laughter Wrinkles your nose And then I don't need paper To remember our start Because you've written it all on my parchment heart Oh you've written it all on my parchment heart Oh I swear it is all on my parchment heart
