My friend, I'm writing this from not so far away
It seems my fragile heart gets worse and worse here each day
I'll remain anonymous and I'll change all the names
But I feel compelled to get these thoughts out of my brain
Something from the past is haunting me discreetly
Of what, I cannot ask
And this is just a sampling, my mind could be a century
It's much too deep for anyone to read
So I send this letter to you hoping I may hear
A tale from 'cross the pond, a sympathetic ear
For now I'll laugh with them and smile and drink their wine
But I swear I'll lose my nerve if you kiss me just one more time
Things I've discovered
(things I've discovered)
Things I remember
(things I can't remember)
It'd be a lie to say last night I didn't cry
Look at me, a big strong man, a little boy inside
But I felt infinite while riding in their car
So here's a mix tape for you proclaiming just who we are
People all around me
(people all around me)
They've never found me
(they always find me)
It's nice to know that there's someone out there like you
And of all the books I've read, I recommend a few
And cheers to you my friend for being that kind of man
Who won't have s** with someone just because you can
Something in my past has shaken me profoundly
Of what, I cannot ask
And this is just a sampling, my mind could be a century
It's much too deep for anyone to read
Love Always,
Charlie
