Long Lost Penpal Songtext
von Hello Saferide

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
