On Paper

You hate star signs and so do I

We're extroverts and hate to be alone

Always too scared to open up, yeah

'Cause we've been hurt before and given up on love

Everybody else around us says we're too alike, you and I

But maybe similar things can attract sometimes

We don't work on paper, but I can read between the lines

You know how to speak my language, when I don't have the words to write

The way you push and pull me, it makes me lose my mind

But baby, I'm not complaining, mm, that we don't work on paper

We don't work on paper

We both long for affection

But when feelings show up, we tend to run

We hide behind irrational insecurities

And laugh through it all, so nobody sees

We both lie when it gets too much

Everybody else around us says we're too alike, you and I

But maybe similar things can attract sometimes

We don't work on paper, but I can read between the lines

You know how to speak my language, when I don't have the words to write

The way you push and pull me, it makes me lose my mind

But baby, I'm not complaining, ooh, that we don't work on-

They may say that we're too young

Wasted and reckless and dumb

But even though it could get ugly

Just promise that you'll still love me

They may be right, but I don't care

We don't work on paper, but I can read between the lines

You know how to speak my language, when I don't have the words to write

The way you push and pull me, is something I won't fight

Baby, I'm not complaining, mm, that we don't work on paper
