๐ Lyrics
This past year has been a mess
And I've kept every single note that I've been sent
'Cause in the absence of smiles and arms
Words are all we've got left
I need something substantial to touch
'Cause these small screens sometimes just simply aren't enough
But they remind me I'm not so far
From all the people that I love
Well, I don't like calls but I'll do letters
Words from friends make me feel better
Lift me when it's all getting too hard
And I'm sorry for my slow replying
Some days I just feel like crying
It's not that I just simply can't be arsed
To keep up with the people that we miss
The internet's all well and good
But you can't seal an email with a loving kiss
So hold out and hold on
'Cause some day we'll be back together
Smiling as we sing our favourite songs
It's been too long
But we've gotta keep fighting
Even when it seems like everything's gone wrong
This past year's been pretty hard
But I've found solace in these words and this guitar
And now that light at the end of the tunnel
Doesn't seem quite so far
But I'll keep on gathering these notes
'Cause some days they're all that's keeping me afloat
And when there's nothing else too look forward to
There's always the post
Well, I don't like calls but I'll do letters
Words from friends make me feel better
Lift me when it's all getting too hard
And I'm sorry for my slow replying
Some days I just feel like crying
It's not that I just simply can't be arsed
To keep up with the people that we miss
The internet's all well and good
But you can't seal an email with a loving kiss
So hold out and hold on
'Cause someday we'll be back together smiling as we sing our favourite songs
It's been too long
But we've gotta keep fighting even when it seems like everything's gone wrong
And I'll see you down the front
Just as soon as fates allow
I'll be back out there in the crowd
Singing songs and getting pissed
Just being happy to exist
But until then please take this note
I'll put it in an envelope
For all the people that I miss
I'll sign my name and seal it with a loving kiss
And I've kept every single note that I've been sent
'Cause in the absence of smiles and arms
Words are all we've got left
I need something substantial to touch
'Cause these small screens sometimes just simply aren't enough
But they remind me I'm not so far
From all the people that I love
Well, I don't like calls but I'll do letters
Words from friends make me feel better
Lift me when it's all getting too hard
And I'm sorry for my slow replying
Some days I just feel like crying
It's not that I just simply can't be arsed
To keep up with the people that we miss
The internet's all well and good
But you can't seal an email with a loving kiss
So hold out and hold on
'Cause some day we'll be back together
Smiling as we sing our favourite songs
It's been too long
But we've gotta keep fighting
Even when it seems like everything's gone wrong
This past year's been pretty hard
But I've found solace in these words and this guitar
And now that light at the end of the tunnel
Doesn't seem quite so far
