Dear You

[Hook]
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

[Verse 1]
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

[Hook]
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

[Verse 2]
Dear you, it looks like you must have 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've 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

[Hook]
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

[Verse 3]
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 have 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

[Hook]
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

[Verse 4]
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

[Outro]
I always felt like I'd known you
I never thought you would be lonely
Now there's nothing else I can do
This is me reaching out to you
