[Verse 1]
I'm at the water's edge and I am peering closer
This is where I will be, where you can find me
My shadow's kissing secrets, your heart's in agony
I never meant to make you cry
Love, come back to me

[Pre-Chorus]
Troubled boy, I'll kiss you one last time
And then say goodnight forever
But little girl, I'm not feeling well
These nights are long enough without you

[Chorus]
Who's sending letters through the mail?
(Stop it, quit calling my name)
Whose empty chair is at the table?
(It's mine, I've left you alone)
Who changed the locks?
Who took the pictures off the wall?
String me along like a beautiful love song

[Bridge 1]
Carolina, Carolina
Carolina, Carolina
[Verse 2]
Now that I have you, may I use you as a muse
And keep you up all night in trading stories
And whisper singing love?

[Pre-Chorus]
Troubled boy, I'll kiss you one last time
And then say goodnight forever
But little girl, I'm not feeling well
These nights are long enough without you

[Chorus]
Who's sending letters through the mail?
(Stop it, quit calling my name)
Whose empty chair is at the table?
(It's mine, I've left you alone)
Who changed the locks?
Who took the pictures off the wall?
String me along like a beautiful love song

[Bridge 2]
All I want, all I need
All I want is to be
Do-do-do do-do
Do-do-do do-do
Do-do-do do-do
Do-do-do do-do, oh
[Outro]
Who's sending letters through the mail?
Whose empty chair is at the table?
Who changed the locks?
Who took the pictures off the wall?
String me along like a beautiful love song
