Hello Saferide Long Lost Penpal song lyrics

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
