Lyrics
Seems like so many moons ago
Reflecting on a distant past
Since you moved away
Time has passed since your departure
And now there’s been too many days when I just can’t remember your face
Struggling to recall your face after many days
But when I do it hits me
Memory of you hits strongly when remembered
Like a brick or a whole damn wall
The impact of recollection is powerful
A little remorse that I can’t be a better side boo to ya
Expressing remorse for not being a better presence
Or a friend at all
Feeling unable to be a good friend or side companion
I don’t need you to spend your hours on the phone (ooh ooh ooh)
Not asking for excessive time or effort
You don’t have to buy a plane ticket to come visit home
No need for extravagant gestures, just a simple connection
I just need you to
Expressing the need for communication
Write me, write me
Requesting a written form of communication
You can write me at home
Suggesting writing as a means to connect
What would another person know about our love?
Questioning others' understanding of their love
Write me, write me
Reiterating the importance of writing
or don’t call me at all
Prefer writing over not calling at all
Because the missing you could only hurt me
Expressing the emotional impact of missing
Write me, write me
Emphasizing the request for written communication
You can write me at home
Encouraging writing as a form of connection
What would another person know about our love?
Raising doubts about others' knowledge of their love
Write me, write me
Reiterating the importance of written communication
Before the year goes
Setting a timeframe for the written communication
Another year when you’ve been feeling alone
Acknowledging the loneliness over the years
Some nights when I fall asleep
Expressing concern for the well-being during sleep
I hope you’re doing well
Wishing the other person well during the night
I saved the last letter you sent
Preserving a last letter as a cherished memory
In a folder on some shelf
Storing the letter as a tangible reminder
I was staring at the shapes that your hand made on the page so long
Reflecting on the shapes of handwriting
But I can’t recall what we did on the day you left
Unable to recall details of the departure day
Or if I was feeling so wrong
Uncertain emotions on the day of departure
I don’t need you to spend your hours on the phone (ooh ooh ooh)
Not asking for excessive time or effort (repeated)
You don’t have to buy a plane ticket to come visit home
No need for extravagant gestures (repeated)
I just need you to
Expressing the need for communication (repeated)
Write me, write me
Requesting a written form of communication (repeated)
You can write me at home
Suggesting writing as a means to connect (repeated)
What would another person know about our love?
Questioning others' understanding of their love (repeated)
Write me, write me
Reiterating the importance of writing (repeated)
or don’t call me at all
Prefer writing over not calling at all (repeated)
Because the missing you could only hurt me
Expressing the emotional impact of missing (repeated)
Write me, write me
Emphasizing the request for written communication (repeated)
You can write me at home
Encouraging writing as a form of connection (repeated)
What would another person know about our love?
Raising doubts about others' knowledge of their love (repeated)
Write me, write me
Reiterating the importance of written communication (repeated)
Before the year goes
Setting a timeframe for the written communication (repeated)
Another year when you’ve been feeling alone
Acknowledging another year of loneliness (repeated)
