Give me something to write on, I'll give you something to burn
You keep me at a safe distance and tell your friends that I never learn
Give me something to write on, to keep me up all night
The coat you wear is my mantra, I never wanted to fight
Give me something to write on. Right here and now
When you think it's all over. When you figure it out
Give me something to count on. Let me know the words I hear are yours
Tell me that the train you're riding on is coming home
