lyrics

I kept your letters
My friends say it's unhealthy
To keep the pain so close
Chained up as a reminder
To tell me I'm a liar
(I remember, in your letters
I remember, in your letters)

And when the tunnels closed
I called you on the phone
I spoke to your machine
She talked so sweet to me
Leave a message at the beep
(You've probably gone to sleep)

We were 20
We were laughing
We drank deli coffee to keep from crashing
You're walking me home
I don't wanna go
As the sky was getting lighter
You said I should be a writer

I wake up tired
With ink stains on my fingers
Another 13 years
And maybe I'll be wiser
(You got married)
But I'll still be a writer
(I moved away, guess you stayed
Thought that I'd have more to say
I thought that I'd be less afraid)

And when the tunnels closed
I called you on the phone
(This is the scene)
I spoke to your machine
(You wrote for me)
She talked so sweet to me
Leave a message at the beep
(The villain on your movie screen)

We were 20
We were laughing
We drank deli coffee to keep from crashing
You're walking me home
I don't wanna go
As the sky was getting lighter
You said I should be a writer

(I remember, in your letters
I remember, in your letters
You've probably gone to sleep
You look happy
You got married
I moved away, guess you stayed
Thought that I'd have more to say
I thought that I'd be less afraid)

We were 20
We were laughing
We drank deli coffee to keep from crashing
You're walking me home
I don't wanna go
As the sky was getting lighter
You held my shoulders tighter
You said I should be a writer
You said I should be a writer
You said I should be a writer
