Lyrics

If I was in magazines
Would you think much more of me
If you heard about me
Would you be my love

If I was a feature piece
A cover story gravy feast
An action figure
Running with the sun

Better on paper
Better than alive
Better on paper
Than your guy

If my surname rang a bell
A photograph you knew so well
A memory on the tip of your tongue

If I was the boy next door
Super tragic, young and poor
A cowboy with a switch blade and a gun

Better on paper
Better than alive
Better on paper
Than your guy

Larger than life
Harder than drugs
Easy to know
Easy to love

Better on paper
Better than alive
Better on paper
Than your guy
