If I Wrote You
Unspoken Letters: Longing, Regret, and the Sea of Unanswered Calls
Lyrics
If I called you in the morning
If I reached out to you in the morning
To say that I've been mourning what we had
To express my sorrow over what we once had
If I called you in the evening
If I contacted you in the evening
To say that I've been grieving would you be sad
To convey my sadness and longing, would you feel the same?
If I wrote you to say it's been a while
If I composed a letter expressing the passage of time
Would you answer and send it with a smile
Would you respond positively, perhaps with a smile?
I'll never know if it got lost among the mail
I'll never know if my message was lost in the mail
Or if it sailed across the sea to be with me
Or if it traversed the sea, endeavoring to be with me
If I walked up to your door steps
If I approached your doorstep
With my dreams and all my regrets would you be glad
Bearing my dreams and regrets, would you welcome me?
If I caught another red eye
If I took another red-eye flight
It would mean another goodbye would you be sad
Symbolizing another farewell, would it sadden you?
If I wrote you to say it's been a while
If I penned a letter acknowledging the passing of time
Would you answer and send it with a smile
Would your response carry warmth and a smile?
I'll never know if it got lost among the mail
I'll never know if my words were lost in transit
Or if it sailed across the sea to be with me
Or if they crossed the sea, aspiring to join me
If I wrote you to say it's been a while
If I corresponded to convey the passage of time
Would you answer and send it with a smile
Would your response be filled with joy and a smile?
I'll never know if it got lost among the mail
I'll never know if my message wandered astray in the postal system
Or if it sailed across the sea to be with me
Or if it navigated the seas, aiming to reunite with me
I'll never know if it got lost among the mail
I'll never know if my words were lost in transit
It never sailed across the sea
They never embarked on a journey across the sea
To be with me
To be in my presence
