[Intro: soft keys, vinyl warmth] [Verse 1: flowing melodic delivery] I've got a drawer of letters never sent Addresses for the places I never went One says I should wander, one says settle down One describes a stranger in another town [Pre-Chorus: rising falsetto] I read them when the house is still And feel the things I never will [Chorus: soaring layered harmonies] Dear life I never got to live I wonder what you had to give I'm writing from a happy place But wish that I could see your face [Melodic bass ascends] If I could send this letter through Would you be wishing you were me too? [Break: gentle cowbell, shuffled breakbeat] [Bridge: emotional vocal duet] The paper knows my deepest doubt The things I'm glad I lived without But every letter ends the same A different life, a different name [Final Hook: sustained falsetto] Dear life I never got to know I'll keep your letters, let you go [Outro: piano, soft resolution] Then open up the drawer again.
