This Letter

Lyrics

Now I know this letter is right out of the blue
 All I ever wanted was to talk to you
 And a coffee in a moving rented car
 Heading to the nearest place that felt like far
 Honey, can I call you that in secret print?
 Words will never hurt you if the motive's clear
 All I want for you is joy and peaceful love
 Who you get it from is not my main concern
 It's like a fountain every time I think of you
 Turning on the pro's that wouldn't circle you
 Though I messed it up, I figured that I might
 See you true and clearly in another life
 As the rain falls slowly on this sliding roof
 I'm inclinded to tell you all about the truth
 Years of wondering what you were thinking of
 I've given into endless days of being a sloth
 If I could have the energy to chase the day
 I would end up chasing all the good away
 Boundless youth is wasted on the fallen kid
 Down a tunnel of mistakes they always fled
 Who was there to pick up all the bloody mess?
 Who was there to mop their heads with tenderness?
 No one human, nobody is good enough
 To envelope the human heart when life is rough
 How can this be done?
 How can I make it through?
 Teenage dreams do never what they're meant to do
 Knock a door and listen to the wisdom speak
 Leave your knife, your razor and your make believe
 Though the world is fucked according to the news
 Doesn't get you out of what you have to do
 Though the world is fucked and swinging to the right
 Doesn't get you out of what you have to do tonight
