I'm just a rough draft
Ink on every page
Couple stains and stripes
Where tears were wiped away
And there's a lot I have to say
But I'm not organized
I'm the product of a sleep-deprived
Worked up mind
Still an idea
I can bend and break
Might be a mistake
But I'm a risk you gotta take
'Cause I stick in your brain
Under your skin and your veins
You gotta deal with me
To make me go away
So baby reach out and touch me
No need to like me or love me
Today
Today
But all these pieces and parts of me
Could be something larger than me
One day
One day
So if you want me you got me
Granted I'm scattered and sloppy
But you can't send me back
I'm just a rough draft
So cut me and grab me
And when I'm ready make copies
And one day
The real thing might blow you away
I'm just a few thoughts
Fragments and memory
Shaped by your imagination
Your love and your patience
And I know you're afraid
Of what I can mean
I'm an open letter
A public diary
So baby reach out and touch me
No need to like me or love me
Today
Today
But all these pieces and parts of me
Could be something larger than me
One day
One day
So if you want me you got me
Granted I'm scattered and sloppy
But you can't send me back
I'm just a rough draft
So cut me and grab me
And when I'm ready make copies
And one day
One day, oh
You say you don't need me
Could tear me up
Believe me
You walk away (walk away, walk away)
You're giving up too easy
Listen to me
I've got a lot left to say
Baby reach out and touch me
No need to like me or love me
No need
No need
But if you take me apart
Finish what you start
You'll see
So if you want me you got me
Granted I'm scattered and sloppy
But you can't send me back
I'm just a rough draft
So cut me and grab me
And when I'm ready make copies
And one day
One day
So if you want me you got me
Granted I'm scattered and sloppy
But you can't send me back
I'm just a rough draft
So cut me and grab me
And when I'm ready make copies
And one day
The real thing might blow you away
