"Outlines" lyrics

"Outlines"

It's not like a déjà vu and it's not an illusion
But sometimes I feel you through all the confusion
It doesn't always make me feel sad
But it never really makes me feel glad
Because all the good time we had could never be bad
Our friends don't ask anymore, but they think about it I'm sure
Now it's just down to me

Is this paper all I've got, all I've got to keep you with me?
Keep you from fading away
'Cause this paper is not enough, not enough to bring you to me
And nothing would take you away
And I can't help tracing these outlines of you
But is this paper all I've got, all I've got to keep you with me?
Keep you from fading away

It's not just the quiet times, not just at the end of the night
He can get me when I'm feeling fine even when I'm feeling bright
It doesn't always come to me clear
It doesn't always make you feel near
Sometimes it gives me a fear that you were never here
Our friends don't ask anymore but they think about it I'm sure
Now it's just down to me

Is this paper all I've got, all I've got to keep you with me?
Keep you from fading away
'Cause this paper is not enough, not enough to bring you to me
And nothing would take you away
And I can't help tracing these outlines of you
But is this paper all I've got, all I've got to keep you with me?
Keep you from fading away

Outlines of you, you
Outlines of you
