Letters

Cried when I first heard your name
I knew I'd never be the same
It started as a silly game of truth

Painted my lips and cut my hair
Hoping your magic would appear
'Cause nothing they can do compares with you

You're so beautiful in blue
That's my favorite color on you
Used to bleed it out, it's true
But I stopped 'cause you'd want me to

It's been twenty five years, I'm still alive
You wouldn't believe what I survived
Your soul's the only thing that got me through
You took on me after we just met
Now I'm confessing all my dark secrets
'Cause nothing else connects to me like you

You're so beautiful in blue
That's my favorite color on you

Did you get my letter
If not, there's one on the way
I've been sober for seven years today
You saved my life in every way
My number one
When I hear your voice
It makes me feel awake
You say all of the things I could never say
You take all of my pain, make it go away
My number one, one, one, one

I wake up just to check the line
I pray that you respond this time
I hold my breath and wait patiently

I had a dream that we had sex
I swear I'm straight, but now I guess
It's just like you to warp my chemistry

So beautiful in blue
I'd die if you asked me to

Did you get my letter
If not, there's one on the way
I've been sober for seven years today
You saved my life in every way
My number one
When I hear your voice
It makes me feel awake
You say all of the things I could never say
You take all of my pain, make it go away, yeah

Oh baby, I'm not crazy
Nothing said forever
I wait forever
Till we're together someday

Did you get my letter
If not, there's one on the way
I've been sober for seven years today
You saved my life in every way
My number one
When I hear your voice
It makes me feel awake
You say all of the things I could never say
You take all of my pain, make it go away
Make it go away
My number one
