Letters Never Sent

[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.
