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 I'm 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 Unless I sing this song to you I could set this, I could set this I want to 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
