lyrics

Little White Paper
(for Butter)

You don't have to take me with you when you go.
I'm a built in heartbreak, everybody told you so.
If you feel like the risking kind, the kind to wanna change their mind,
We could burn the hours good and slow.

Little white paper and you're mine--
I've been waiting here for some time.
Little white paper, all we have to do is sign.

You're gonna have to take me with you when you go.
I'm the tender to your weary, and your road to moving on.
If you think this will make it right, buy us freedom, buy us time,
We can burn the miles good and slow.

Little white paper and it's time--
Being still just isn't our kind.
Little white paper, all we have to do is sign.

You know I cannot take you with me when I go.
I'm a built in heartbreak, just like they told you so.
We can't up and change its mind, when time is up then time decides--
But we can beg the hour to take it slow.

Little white paper and you're gone.
Little white paper and I'm left here all alone.
