Love Letters

It’s not my place to speak of these things
I know it’s bad luck and curses it brings
But it’s impossible for me to avoid
The boy you once loved, I think I have destroyed
And I really should just let it go
It’s clearly out of my control
I should be cold, I should be detached
Oh, but you would never fall for that
Are you still in love with the sound of your voice?
It floats all around and above all the noise
And then it grows fingers and scratches my skin
And plucks at my heartstrings till I let you in
I guess all is forgotten and nothing’s forgiven
I know what you’re holding and I know where it’s hidden
It’s somewhere back in your memory
There’s a younger, prettier version of me
That’s the message I want to transmit
That’s the boy I want you to go home with
Oh we’ve come all this way to forget where we are
We’ll stumble around underneath all the stars
I’d write you love letters, but the light is too dim
I walk you through places we’ve already been
Are you still in love?
Are you still in love with me?
I am still in love
Are you still in love with me?
I guess all is forgotten and nothings forgiven
I know what you’re holding and I know where it’s hidden
Somewhere back in your memory
There’s a younger, prettier version of me
Yes I’m still in love
With the sound of your voice
It floats all around and above all this noise
And then it grows fingers and scratches my skin
And plucks at my heartstrings till I let you in
Yes I’m still in love
Are you still in love with me?
Yes I’m still in love
Are you still in love with me?
I guess all is forgotten and nothing’s forgiven
I know what you’re holding and I know where it’s hidden
Somewhere back in your memory
There’s a younger, prettier version of me
That’s the message I want to transmit
That’s the boy I want you to go home with
