lyrics

I’ll be better
if you give me time
need just one second
to feel like I don’t have to be tryin
to be better

caus without the pressure
it’s a piece of pie to weather
every downpour and displeasure
you can count on me forever ever

now you can trust me
like a paperweight I will be holdin it down
now you can trust me
like a paperweight I will hold it down for ya

sweet serenity
I will shortly find
somewhere between my bed and pier 84
that’s for sure
I know you’re way ahead of me
but I promise you this
I will never stop trying to keep up
I mean I can’t when I love you this much

now you can trust me
like a paperweight I will be holdin it down
now you can trust me
like a paperweight I will be holding it down
simple but risky
like ten shots of whisky
believing this situation ain’t sticky
but you can trust me
like a paperweight I’ll be holdin it down for ya

it’s easy oh so
easy to slip into the silent danger
of lopsided scales
in the way we make up
in the way me make love
in what we save till later
know I know just know I know this
know I know just know I know this
given the pain you’ve faced
love, i see how you might not think there’s enough
balance to go between us

now you can trust me
like a paperweight I will be holdin it down
now you can trust me
like a paperweight I will be holding it down
simple but risky
like ten shots of whisky
believing this situation ain’t sticky
but you can trust me
like a paperweight I’ll be holdin it down for ya
