Dear You

I always felt like you've known me

I thought of you when I got lonely

Now there's nothing else I can do

This is me reaching out to you

Dear you

I hope you don't mind me writing

'Cause it's been some time since we last spoke

I hope you're doing more than fine

Damn, all that time, I don't know where it goes

Man, I bet there's been some change

And in my brain, you've been doing so well

I know it's important, I know I haven't called

But tell me all there is to tell

I always felt like you've known me

I thought of you when I got lonely

Now there's nothing else I can do

This is me reaching out to you

Dear you

It looks like you must've moved house

The last address I got for you was time ago now

You're probably in Spain or the States, no doubt

In school I always knew that it was you who'd get out

I heard you dumped Christine

But that was probably, what, 2003?

I bet you got a super hot wife or three

You were always such a player when we were sixteen

I hope our paths cross sometime

I can't seem to find your profile online

Drop me a call, any day or night is fine

Because I'd love to see your face after such a long time

I always felt like you've known me

I thought of you when I got lonely

Now there's nothing else I can do

This is me reaching out to you

Dear you

Me again, obviously it's a letter

It's weird, writing these to you makes me feel better

'Cause sometimes when it's dark or it's really bad weather

I feel like I might just feel down forever

Last night, I really felt that might've been it

Like I just couldn't deal with any more shit

I wanted to disappear and if I think that I did

It would be at least a week before it went noticed

I wanna go back

Back to when we were kids

When we didn't know pain could feel like this

When we didn't know hurt and we didn't know risk

But we all grew up and I guess that's it

I always felt like you've known me

I thought of you when I got lonely

Now there's nothing else I can do

This is me reaching out to you

Dear you

It's strange how quickly we can lose sight

I called your old landline late last night

I remembered those numbers since '99

Anyway, suppose I called because you hadn't replied

I got through to your parents

They were so surprised

They asked me if I still lived down Park Drive

I got the worst feeling when I heard your dad cry

When your mum took the phone and went outside

Man, she told me how hard you tried

That it didn't work out with your kids and wife

I nearly dropped the phone and had tears in my eyes

When she said you took your own life last July

I always felt like I've known you

I never thought you would be lonely

Now there's nothing else I can do

This is me reaching out to you
