[Verse 1]
There's a letter that you never sent
You wrote about an accident
Of love and of you and of me and how we all collided
In that letter that I never read
I thought about what it might've said
The fates and the stars and how hearts like ours can be guided

[Chorus]
How long can it take to write a few lines on a coffee break?
Say "Hey old man, how's things? How are you feeling?"
Maybe I'll write you instead, say "thank you for the words I read
How I hope that you meant every letter that you never sent"

[Verse 2]
In that letter that you never wrote
You talk about how you used to quote
Poems and prose of somebody called Dorothy Parker
In that letter that I never read
I remember how you once said
Love is a volt like lights but sometimes it's darker

[Chorus]
And how long can it take to write a few lines on a coffee break?
Say "Hey old man, how's things? Are you still smiling?"
Oh I'm gonna write you instead, say "thank you for the words I read
How I hope that you meant every letter that you never sent
Oh for the love that you lent in the letters that you never sent"
In the letters that you never sent
In all the letters that you never sent
In all the letters that you never sent
You never sent
