Long Lost Penpal

Lyrics

Hello
 Do you remember me?
 I am your long lost pen pal
 It must have been ten years ago we last wrote
 I don't really know what happened
 I guess life came in the way
 Let me know if you're still alive
 Let me know if you ever used that knife or not
 ♪
 Hello
 Yes, I remember you
 I've got a husband and two children now
 I work as an accountant and make fairly good money
 I still have your letters, you used a pink pen to write them
 And you would comfort me
 When my tears would stain the ink
 And I would send you mix tapes with Kate Bush on
 
 I have to admit I sometimes lied in those letters
 Tried to make life better than it was
 I still wasn't kissed at sixteen
 And I still need a friend
 ♪
 There was this letter
 I never told you this back then
 But it would be fair to say it saved my life
 I sat in the window
 The only one left out from a party again
 Pretty sure I didn't have a single friend
 Then I checked the mailbox
 Dear long lost penpal
 I was lying the whole time
 I'm really a 46 years old man named Luke
 I have three children
 And a wife, she doesn't care
 And I hope you don't resent me
 And I hope you do not hate me
 For trying to find my way back to what it's like to be young
 ♪
 I have to admit I sometimes lied in those letters
 Tried to make life better than it was
 I still wasn't kissed at sixteen
 And I still need a friend
