Long Lost Penpal |
Hello |
Do you remember me? |
I am your long lost pen pal |
It must have been ten years ago we last wrote |
I don’t really know what happened |
I guess life came in the way |
Let me know if you’re still alive |
Let me know if you ever used that knife or not |
Hello |
Yes, I remember you |
I’ve got a husband and two children now |
I work as an accountant and make fairly good money |
I still have your letters, you used a pink pen to write them |
And you would comfort me |
When my tears would stain the ink |
And I would send you mix tapes with Kate Bush on |
I have to admit I sometimes lied in those letters |
Tried to make life better than it was |
I still wasn’t kissed at sixteen |
And I still need a friend |
There was this letter |
I never told you this back then |
But it would be fair to say it saved my life |
I sat in the window |
The only one left out from a party again |
Pretty sure I didn’t have a single friend |
Then I checked the mailbox |
Dear long lost penpal |
I was lying the whole time |
I’m really a 46 years old man named Luke |
I have three children |
And a wife, she doesn’t care |
And I hope you don’t resent me |
And I hope you do not hate me |
For trying to find my way back to what it’s like to be young |
I have to admit I sometimes lied in those letters |
Tried to make life better than it was |
I still wasn’t kissed at sixteen |
And I still need a friend |
