On paper you're the California wine
I'm a bottom shelf tequila without a lime
On paper you're all pretty in pink*
And I'm the man in black*
At least that's what they think

On paper we're different
It's night and day, sun and rain
And I see what they're saying but here's the thing

You can't live on paper, can't love on paper
Ain't someone for two of us on paper
Don't make sense on paper
Stories in on paper
So how about we take that piece of paper?
And set it on fire
Set it on fire

On paper they said we wouldn't last a year
But time's still ticking by and we're still here
On paper, yes it's true, black and white
Sometimes the pros are cons
And the wrongs are right

On paper we're different
It's hot and cold, yes and no
And I guess it's a good thing that we both know
We both know

You can't live on paper, can't love on paper
Ain't someone for two of us on paper
Don't make sense on paper
Stories in on paper
So how about we take that piece of paper?
And set it on fire
Set it on fire

People love to judge
But they don't understand
And the whole world could write us off
But I don't give a damn

You can't live on paper, can't love on paper
Ain't someone for two of us on paper
Don't make sense on paper
Stories in on paper
So how about we take that piece of paper?
And set it on fire
Set it on fire
