Lyrics

The Letter (Demo)

Put the pen
To the paper
Press the envelope
With my scent

Can't you see
My handwriting?
The curve of my G?
The longing?

Ooh-oh-oh-oh
Ooh-oh-oh-oh
Ooh-oh-oh-oh
Ooh-oh-oh-oh

Who is left
That writes these days?
You and me
We'll be different

Take the cap
Off your pen
Wet the envelope
Lick and lick it

Ooh-oh-oh-oh
Ooh-oh-oh-oh
Ooh-oh-oh-oh
Ooh-oh-oh-oh

I need you
Time is running out
Oh, baby
Can you hear me call?

It turns me on
To imagine
Your blue eyes
On my words

Your beautiful pen
Take the cap off
Give me a sign
And I come running

Ooh-oh-oh-oh
Ooh-oh-oh-oh
Ooh-oh-oh
Ooh-oh-oh-oh
Oo-oo-oo

Oo-oo, it's you
I want you
I want you
