Lines on the Paper

[Verse 1]
In an outdoor cafe you drew my picture
Drinking coffee all alone
I looked up and I caught you staring
At a picture all your own

[Chorus]
Tell me, what are you seeing?
Do you think that I'm alone?
And do those lines upon your paper
Say I'm someone that you've known?

[Verse 2]
Now I wonder what you'd do if I told you
That I'm a painter just like you
I paint your picture with these words
Instead of brushes like you do

[Verse 3]
Now it's a writer or a painter
Who can take a stranger home
Captured in the lines upon the paper
In a picture or a poem

[Chorus]
Do you see what I'm seeing?
That you're another one alone
And do these lines upon my paper
Say you're someone that I've known?
