lyrics

Got my whole life plotted out
On little scraps of paper
Grab a napkin, scribble down
Got ‘em stacked up like a skyscraper
Think your question’s perfectly clear
Why should love have to be such labor?
Got the answer for you right here
On little scraps of paper

Back when I was still young
Had a thought like turning a light on
Had it on the tip of my tongue
But I couldn’t find nothing to write on
Mother Earth has such a pull
When all you want to do is escape her
I’m weight down by pockets full
Of little scraps of paper

Lonely, lonely
C’mon, tear me all to pieces

Still holding on to hope
When a knock came at my front door
Brown manilla envelope
Honey, why’d you go and do that for?
I think you won’t see me no more
I’ll be nothing but a trail of vapor
Check my trash for what you’re looking for
In little scraps of paper
