Parchment Lyrics by ​gray (USA)

H(our)s

2019

[Verse 1]​
I could spend the next forty years with you
Trying to take down all the little things you do
Trying to capture your heart on a piece of parchment
Staring out on the city from a beat-up apartment

[Refrain]
But we don't have a parchment love
We don't have a parchment love

[Verse 2]
We'll start with every day if that's enough for you
It seems short after all we've been through
We're running through life this is life at its best
And your heart is the same as the one in my chest

[Refrain]
But we don't have a parchment love
We don't have a parchment love
We don't have a parchment love
No, we don't have a parchment love

[Verse 3]
I love better on paper my dear
This whole time that has been my greatest fear
Would flood or would flame rend our love asunder?
Could you tell me what spell do you have me under?

[Bridge]
I’m still trying to understand
A parchment love’s not what I planned
So tell me have I fallen far?
A parchment love’s not all we are

[Verse 4]
Take this paper, take this pen
All I want is for you to take my hand
Let's walk through this life
Feel the sand in our toes
Let's laugh 'til the laughter wrinkles your nose
And then I don't need parchment to remember our start
Because you've written it all on my parchment heart

[Outro]
(Oh, I swear it is all on my parchment heart)
