lyrics

I could sit in this lovesick tree forever
& watch the wind go by
Keep my pencil to paper & think of it later

All the times I fell apart
Jotted down between the stars
Showing my reflections below the line
Come together in time

So open me
I'm full of thousands of letters I never sent
So much is left unseen
Scribbled out I never thought I'd ever need it

I think of all the writing I've done
& all the good-byes I've sketched
Every sunset I boxed up to think of it later

Everyone I left behind
Disappear in time

So open me
I'm full of thousands of letters I never sent
So much is left unseen
Scribbled out I never thought I'd ever need it

Don't look back keep your eyes on me
We never got to that perfect ending
But the envelopes sealed, to help us heal
we can make this out to wherever we want

& my masochistic thoughts were etched out in lead
(etched in my head)

So open me
I'm full of thousands of letters I never sent
So much is left unseen
Scribbled out I never thought I'd ever need it

Don't look back keep your eyes on me
We never got to that perfect ending
But the envelopes sealed, to help us heal
we can make this out to wherever we want.
