[Spoken Intro]

*clears throat*

Um

Hello, hello

So, I wanted to try and do something special

For someone very special to me

And so this is my attempt at doing that

Uh, yeah, here we go!


[Verse]

Even when we're miles apart

I have your voice but feel no touch

You are so close to my heart

But we're far from flesh and blood

See, in a world so full of dissonance

Our harmony's a flood inside my heart

I don't need cards or flying doves to feel our magic

See, your smile makes me smile, no, that's cringe

Your laugh makes me laugh, that's even worsе

If my journey on this path could ever lеad to losing you

I know which path is not my path

You're a blessing from the skies

You're the thief that stole my mind

You're the reason why I think of you all the time

You're the little tiny bug that found its way inside my ear

And now I can't think a thought without wishing you were here

And I know you don't care

I know that no one even asked

But you're who motivates me when I'm sad

You're the high school crush that I knew that I always wanted

But thought that I'd never have

Always missing my other half, that's you

And if I had a shiny nickel, for every time I missed you

I'd use them to buy the moon

Then sell the moon to North Korea

Then use all their fancy missiles to blow craters in that moon until it spelled out our initials

Okay, wait, that's absurd

Sorry, I'm bad with words

Let me start over

I guess, what I'm trying to say

Agh, I'm messing this up

I thought about this for days

I just, haven't found the guts to tell you truly I'm in—

Look

I'm not used to spending my time

Floating up on cloud nine, with you up in my mind

I used to spend my summers there, it turned to every weekend

Now, I find myself among the clouds when I should be home sleeping

That's your fault, that's right, I blame you

I blame you for all my birthday wishes that came true

Ever since we started dating

I am not the same dude

I've changed for the better!

I blame you for that too

I really think we got this

I won't talk to you how they talked

I'd hike a million miles, 'cause a thousand is a cake-walk

Give it to me straight, Doc

I think it's meant to be

And you would think so too if you knew what you meant to me (Aww)

You know, I could ramble on for hours

But the words would never match up perfectly to show the power that you hold

I thought that Midas was a king?

So how come ever since you touched my heart

Everything has turned to gold?

You could still warm my heart if I lived up in the Arctic

And everything I felt was freezing cold

My dream is growing old

With you

But this letter ain't on paper

Because mailing stuff is hard

So you'll just have to imagine hugs and kisses on the card

But it's no longer, "Yours truly" that I'm writing at the end

It's, "Love Nate, XO, until we meet again"


[Outro]

P.S.​

You're perfect 'cause you always skip the B.S.​

I really hope you smile when you see this

Write me back soon

I love you
