Outlines Lyrics

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 times we had could never be back
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 the 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
