The first words that come out
And I can see this song will be about you
I can´t believe that I can breathe without you
But all I need to do is carry on
The next line I write down

And there´s a tear that falls between the pages
I know that pain´s supposed to heal in stages
But it depends which one it´s standing on

I write lines down, then rip them up
Describing love can´t be this tough

I could set this song on fire, send it up in smoke
I could throw it in the river and watch it sink in slowly
Tie the pages to a plane and send it to the moon
Play it for the world, but it won´t mean much
Unless I sing this song to you

I´m dying to show you
This could end happily ever after
There doesn´t ever have to be disaster

And all you have to do is sing along

I write lines down, then rip them up
Impossible describing love

I could set this song on fire, send it up in smoke
I could throw it in the river and watch it sink in slowly
Tie the pages to a plane and send it to the moon
Play it for the world, but it won´t mean much
Unless I sing this song to you

I could set this song on fire
Sing this song to you
I could set this song on fire

Light this old guitar on fire, I´d still hear the notes

Drown the melody in water, I´d still hear its ghost
Sing it with somebody else, but we´d be out of tune
Play it for the world, but it won´t mean much

I could set this song on fire, send it up in smoke
I could throw it in the river and watch it sink in slowly
Tie the pages to a plane and send it to the moon
Play it for the world, but it won´t mean much
Unless I sing this song to you

I could set this song on fire
Sing this song to you
I could set this, I could set this
I wanna sing this song to you

I could set this song on fire
Sing this song to you
I could set this, I could set this
