Old Letters Lyrics

James & The Shame Old Letters

I still remember when we used to talk
You never said much but I knew what you thought
Cause you wrote it down for me long ago

I read your letters to keep from feeling alone

There's not just one thing I could point to
That began to push me away from you
All I can say is that I changed
It was just like you to stay the same
Stay the same
My favorite thing was how right you made me feel
You let me sleep while you took the wheel
But when I woke up you were nowhere to be seen
Can't help but think if it all just me

I dusted off some of those old notes
And tried to recapture that sensation of hope
Page after page my eyes all a blur
But I could not feel you in any those words

Maybe we'll meet again on different terms
When those old ways have finally been unlearned
I might find out that I had you wrong
And you've just been waiting on me all along
