Dear...

Dear old lover
I hope you're fine when you're found by my letter
I'll skip past niceties
Discussing the weather
And get straight to it
My old friend
Your betrayal like the smell of cigarettes
It lingers round just like your regrets
But we'll get through it
And I'd bet my life
That you've been searchin' round town
Wishin' I was still around
And if you tell me I'm right
Would you tell me come home?

Cause lately
I've been
A vagabond
Traveling places you ain't ever heard of
Lately
I've been
Freer than the red, white, and blue
Learnin' a new kind of love

I grew up hearing you should never give up
Perseverance was taint of my luck
Me and my tight grip
My lost treasure
Hope you're okay after the peak of your pleasure
Your reaching out reeks of a desperate measure
Does she hear you call my name at night?
And I'd bet my life
That you've been searchin' round town
Wishin' I was still around
And if you tell me I'm right
I still wouldn't come home

Cause lately
I've been
A bonfire
Center of all the conversation
Lately
I've been
Painting rainbows over all the blue bruises
Lately
I've been
Freer than the girl that you knew
Learnin' a new kind of love

A love of oneself
A love that lives without you
I'm here in my room
But my mind let's me escape to where I want to
You turned me into sand between your fingers
And you'll forever be the trigger for me

La la la la la la

La la la la

Oh, and I'd bet my life
Yeah, I'd bet my life
Yeah, I'd bet my life

Cause lately
I've been
Shiveree
Hips and beat
I keep grooving
Lately
I've been
Sunkissed
Well-missed
Only catching green lights
Lately
I've been
A pioneer finding my feet
I ran away, far from your street
And I learned what it means to be free
