Long Lost Penpal - Hello Saferide
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
