Letters Lyrics

A half dozen letters arrived with your name

Been seven months but

I doubt that I'll see you again

A half dozen letters I put in the trash

You know I'd forward them to you

But I can't face the facts

And the credit companies

Have been calling your name

Like paper reminders

Asking why you didn't stay

But I don't have the answers

Just a handful of letters

Calling your name

No, I don't have the answers

But I should be doing better

Maybe it's time for an address change

The first time we met

You wore a t-shirt and jeans

On a sidewalk runway

With a head full of dreams

And the last time we spoke

Was a tear in the seams

Now I unravel at a mailbox

On a Thursday evening

And the fashion magazines

Have been calling your name

Like paper reminders

Asking why you didn't stay

And I don't have the answers

Just a handful of letters

Calling your name

No, I don't have the answers

But I should be doing better

Maybe it's time for an address change

And I don't have the answers

Just a handful of letters

Calling your name

No, I don't have the answers

But I should be doing better

Maybe it's time for an address change

A half dozen letters arrived with your name

So I packed up my bags to avoid the pain

A half dozen letters a half dozen ways

That I daydream of someone

That I can't replace

That I can't replace
