we heard a honk
your sister was outside
something was wrong
she had to talk to you for a while
and when you girls
get to jawin' like you do
the morning sun can change to evening blue
so i crept
like i was heading for the john
but i took a left
into your room where we've had our fun
and what i did next
will surely wind me up in hell
but the sun played on your desk and i fell
into your drawer of unsent letters
i found one with my name
it might get worse or it might get better
i only know it will never be the same
i dropped
like rain into the words
i couldn't stop
and each page that i turned
proved to me
i didn't know you at all
and all that was wrong was right and right wrong
(chorus)
i heard a car
start on up the road
i heard a door
and i closed your drawer back closed
down the hall
i met you by the light
with a look in my eyes i knew i couldn't hide
(chorus)
