Take It Upstairs, Einstein

My girl says I should read more
 When I have the time
 I'll take it to devote my attention to just that
 With slanted rhyme
 A couple words and anecdotes
 Prying the laughter from the grasp of my soul
 Well maybe a good friend is like a great story
 You can pick up right where you left off
 But tell me where there is that kind of book
 The book you can't put down
 Am I the entertainment on the coffee table
 The dusty novel by the bathroom sink
 Or am I the witty update on your screen
 Well maybe a good friend is like a great story
 You can pick up right where you left off
 But tell me where there is that kind of book
 The book you can't put down
 The book you can't put down
 My girl says I should read more
 But I like playing my guitar
