Letters

She said, "lighten your load, I'm a professional Give me your darkness, I'll hold it Write down what you think the future holds." "That's an image to hold," she said "Put it in your back pocket. It's not a map for the road It's a could-be, a moment you'd be erasing away When you find you're racing away, read it one more time." I read your letter, it made me feel better Better and worse at the same time I couldn't believe just how you saw us Saw us building and crumbling too You read my letter, it made you feel better Better and worse at the same time My, we had a second shot And I wasn't gone for quite so long "So how do you feel?" "Like I want to be near you," I said, "Why is it so damn hard to know what it is I want?" I read your letter, it made me feel better Better and worse at the same time I couldn't believe just how you saw us With so much to believe in me You read my letter It made you feel better Better and worse at the same time My, we had a second shot And I wasn't gone for quite so long This time I wasn't gone for quite so long
