I'm being lead by a mind so simple

It takes a lot of me

Am I the paint? Are you the stencil?

It takes a lot of me

Displaying all the words you write in me

Am I the parchment? Are you the pencil?


Write in me something interesting that people want to read


Plucking heartstrings and playing feelings

It takes a lot of me

Deadend results always repeating

It takes a lot of me

I know what's been keeping you up all night

Try for me

And I know what's been holding you down all day

I think you owe me this much


Oh, Write in me something interesting that people want to read

It's in me. Something interesting is being written in me


Oh if you can teach an old heart new tricks

Then teach this one to love again
