[Verse 1]
Dear Lucas, how's the mental institution?
When we met you all was gold
And over the course of a year
That just disappeared
Dear Lucas, where'd you go?

[Chorus]
And I would have painted you a picture
And I would have painted you a picture
Of you and her

[Verse 2]
Dear Lucas, you fell in love with a lady
We all had fallen for her once before
I'm sorry that you didn't have a chance with it
I don't think it would have been appropriate at all

[Chorus]
And I would have painted you a picture
And I would have painted you a picture
Of you and her

[Verse 3]
Dear Lucas, we all really miss you
Can we erase six months ago?
Dear Lucas, we hope that you get well
Don't let the tide pull you under its belt
[Bridge]
Don't let the tide pull you under
Don't let the tide pull you under
Don't let the tide pull you under
Don't let it pull you under its belt

[Chorus]
And I would have painted you a picture
And I would have painted you a picture
Of you and her

[Outro]
Dear Lucas, how's the mental institution?
We really hope that you get well
