Yellow Paper
Style: Soul waltz

[Verse 1]
Yellow paper behind the glass
Told me every hour you'd come
I stood there reading it twice
Just to make the waiting some

[Pre-chorus]
I've counted minutes before
Never minded the wait
But this one's different, Carter

[Chorus]
Carter, you're the thing worth waiting for
No timetable could ever hold your name
Steady as the hour I trust you'll come
Carter, you arrive and I'm not the same

[Verse 2]
Dirty glass never hid you
You came through clearer than most
You're not a schedule I follow
You're the one thing I chose

[Pre-chorus]
I've counted minutes before
Never minded the wait
But this one's different, Carter

[Chorus]
Carter, you're the thing worth waiting for
No timetable could ever hold your name
Steady as the hour I trust you'll come
Carter, you arrive and I'm not the same

[Bridge]
Some folks watch the clock all day
I just watch the door for you
No paper printed could ever say
What I already know is true

[Chorus]
Carter, you're the thing worth waiting for
No timetable could ever hold your name
Steady as the hour I trust you'll come
Carter, you arrive and I'm not the same

[Outro]
Paper fades but you don't, Carter
Still the one I'm waiting for
