I wish I could play you a song:
Full of passion,
Emotion;
Like the relationship we once had.
I wish I knew what I was doing wrong,
Or perhaps what I was doing right
But wasn't doing enough of;
I would have changed,
And maybe then we might have had a chance.
I wish I could play you a song
That was versatile like we were:
Fast and danceable,
A beat that could make the world move;
Yet smooth and calming,
Resonating with the soothing tune
That relaxed my soul when I was with you.
I wish I could play you a song
That sang our mutual feelings,
But it was never the same for you,
I could never give you enough.
Never really shared anything with you.
You're love as thin as paper
Shouldn't have affected me the way it did,
But it did.
I wish I could play you a song,
With all that and more,
But maybe a song about you,
A song that truly delineates who you are
Would be more appropriate.
I wish I could play you a song,
But all I have is this
Paperthin hymn.
and this is where you listen to paperthin hymn by anberlin [link] ...now i know this has a totally different interpretation of the song than the music video shows, but yeah i didn't see it until after writing this so enjoy.

and here's the acoustic version: [link]
