Papersack Lyrics

Send "Papersack" ringtone to your cell

So there's your coat and here's your hat

I couldn't fight my way out of a wet paper sack

No need to leave a note once you've packed

If you can stay gone, I don't want you back.

So I sit here as you stand there

Press me flat beneath the weight of that even-keeled stare

No need to leave a note if you go,

If it'd take the rosetta stone to decode.

I put two fingers to your throat

When we kiss and I take your pulse

No need to explain if you're leaving but if you stay

You gotta shake me if I stop breathing.

Da dee da dee la la la la

I watch your eyes for signs of life

Will your pupils dilate if I shine a light?

No need to apologize if you're dead

We should've gone out tonight, should've given it a rest.

I put two fingers to your throat

When we kiss I take your pulse

No need to explain if you're leaving but if you stay

You gotta shake me if I stop breathing.

One deep breath could clear the dust that covers you,

But if you leave I may never find another love.

So here's the tail with no end

It circles back to the mouth where it begins again

And f I sat and sang all night

It wouldn't change a thing, couldn't make anything all right.

I put two fingers to your throat

When we kiss and I take your pulse

If you can find that axe you can grind it now

In case you've forgotten, I can show you how

One deep breath could clear the thoughts that trouble you

But if you leave, I may never find another love.

Da dee da dee la la la la

Da dee da dee la la la la.
