[Verse 1]
And I say it flutters and fades
The heart it grows
Shade with the day
I knew this much
But something's colder
We're growing apart
I'm getting older

[Verse 2]
She had a great
Head on her shoulders
She knew that much
But still I told her
She's getting away
But cards aren't folded, oh
I wanted to stay
But still I'm hanging on

[Chorus]
Saint Paul don't write me off

[Verse 3]
I'm not trying to step on your feet
Don't want to hold you down
I weigh too much
I'm a burden to your words
[Verse 4]
I'm not trying to throw you off beat
Don't wanna slow you down
I want too much
I'm the splinter in your foot
I'm the pathway that you took

[Verse 5]
You're snow-packed-
You're glacial at heart
You played to my vice-
A shoulder of ice
We knew this much
Saint Paul has had his day
Call it off, call it over
You wish I never came

[Chorus + Outro]
Saint Paul don't write me off
Saint Paul don't write me off
I swear I'm coming up
Swear to it
Swear to it
