Arkells - On Paper Lyrics
I was floating across the dance floor
I was trying to think of something to say
When I went up to your girlfriends and pulled you away
You were so perfectly pretty, I could love every mistake
You said "Laura" - I couldn't ignore it
The name of my old love keeps fucking me up
But on paper, I could write it out for you
On paper, I could draw you a picture
On paper, I could finish any story with any ending you please
And I saw you in a dream in the morning, it's the only time I can remember
You were sitting at my kitchen table with no make up on
And you were telling me about everything you saw on tour
And I said "know this: I'll listen to your records, I'll keep you in my head"
Shit you've probably got a boyfriend...
But on paper, I could write it out for you
On paper, I could draw you a picture
On paper, I could finish any story with any ending you please
I can't keep up, always playing catch up
Talking to you right now would be too much
Your mom told me I got a letter
Written from you, it's sitting on the dresser
I can't keep up, always playing catch up
Talking to you right now would be too much
May 14 I got a letter written from you, it's sitting on the dresser
On paper, I could write it out for you
On paper, I could draw you a picture
On paper, I could finish any story with any ending you please
But on paper, I could write it out for you
On paper, I could draw you a picture
On paper, I could finish any story with any ending you please
I can't keep up, always playing catch up
Talking to you right now would be too much
Your mom told me I got a letter
Written from you, it's sitting on the dresser
I can't keep up, always playing catch up
Talking to you right now would be too much
May 14 I got a letter written from you, it's sitting on the dresser

Bummed I didn't make their show in Calgary, there awesome.

Yes they are, I heard this particular song on Sirius 151 Iceberg.
Just discovered this band... i live in St. Thomas Ontario... mind blown that they're only over in Hamilton! These guys are legit.
Max has such a raw voice! Def one of the best Canadian bands!!
saw them live and they were beyond amazing!!
Just found out about you guys through TFAT. Love it.
laura is lucky
He does
Anyone else fall in love with someone at an Arkells concert... damn Diane, wish i got your number
CLICK FOR LANA DEL REY VDG COVER!!!!
@talflick The first one is 'your mom told me' and the second is ' may fourteenth'
Any idea how to buy their album if you live in Europe? iTunes won't let me buy from the Canadian store. I NEED this album though :).
Are you fucking serious?! This band is from fucking CANADA! WHY THE FUCK CAN'T I WATCH SOME OF THEIR VIDEOS HERE
I thought it was "my mom told me I got a letter" not May fourteenth, XD
They performed this at the Phoenix in Toronto last december. Two years straight? I think so
Can you please upload the "In the Dark Mix"!? Both versions are great, but that one absolutely slays me...
I've been looking forward to this album release since they played at Mohawk
heard this for the first time at Fanshawe like a year and a half ago...amazing...
At 2:28 I always think the "did I get that" will come up.
Fuck yeah
