about

a love song for a newspaper

lyrics

Each fall of the typewriter keys
Was a beat of your heart
And each stain of ink on the page
Was a map leading me along

But the only way to keep you with me
Was to gather up all the bittersweet moments and put them into my songs

The thread from my sleeve
Where I once wore my heart Is unraveling me cause it tied tight
To your ribcage and dragging me around

And the only way to keep you with me
Was to stitch together all the memories and wear them around

But don’t worry babe, I’m not too unhappy I’m just thinking

I’ve got great self control when I’m not drinking and I’m not alone
So don’t worry babe I wont make the first move unless you want me to
And I’ll bury my heart deep down in the ground and see what grows,
if anything at all

Cause it’s all for you, for you, for you for now
Yeah it’s all for you, for you, for you, for now
