Letters to a Lover

When I first met her, I couldn't forget her
And by the way, she said my name so slow
Baby don't go
I feel much better now I can remember
All the things that she wants me to know

Now I'm writing a letter to a lover
We're exchanging letters, we're two lovers
Got me writing a letter to a lover
She writin' me letters, she's my songbird

Got me writing a letter to a lover
She writin' me letters, she's my songbird
My songbird, my songbird
And when she comes around
She holds me down
Feet on the ground

Just don't sell me fake love, these thrills are cheap
I want something, I need that runs deep
And it is okay, you can speak
We're alone now, it's just you and me
And we can walk slow, I don't mind
'Cause nobody's watching, everyone's talking, but they're on rewind
Just how I like, if you've got the time
Ink to paper, you're the creator with every line
It feels like Spring, but it's way past May
I've heard it somewhere, sounds like somethin' that you would say
And your porch light from far away
It leads me home, it guides me home when I've gone astray

Remember that you can keep all of the letters
They'll last forever
These are my letters to a lover
