Lyrics

Put the pen

Putting thoughts into words

To the paper

Transcribing those thoughts onto paper

Press the envelope

Sealing the message in an envelope

With my scent

Adding a personal touch with a distinctive scent

Can't you see

Expressing an obvious message

In my handwriting

Revealing personal character through handwriting

The curve of my g?

Highlighting a distinctive feature, possibly a question mark in handwriting

The longing

Expressing a deep yearning or desire


Oh

Expressing a strong emotion or realization


Who is left that

Raising a question about contemporary writing habits

Writes these days?

Reflecting on the scarcity of people who still write

You and me

Identifying the speaker and the recipient

We'll be different

Expressing a commitment to being different from others

Take the cap

Preparing to write

Off your pen

Encouraging the recipient to start writing

Wet the envelope

Moistening the envelope for sealing

Lick and lick it

Emphasizing the act of sealing


Oh

(Empty line, possibly indicating a pause or emphasis)


I need you

Expressing a strong need for the recipient

The time is running out

Indicating urgency due to limited time

Oh baby

Using an endearing term to address the recipient

Can't you hear me call?

Calling out for attention or response


It turns me on

Expressing arousal or excitement

To imagine

Engaging in imaginative thoughts

Your blue eyes

Visualizing the impact of the recipient's gaze on the written words

On my words

Describing the recipient's eyes

Your beautiful pen

Complimenting the recipient's writing instrument

Take the cap off

Encouraging the recipient to start writing

Give me a sign and I'd come running

Expressing eagerness to respond promptly


Oh

(Empty line, possibly indicating a pause or emphasis)

It's you

Declaring the specific person the speaker desires

I want you

Expressing a strong desire for the specified person
