return to sender

We drove around for hours
Like when we were just kids
Nothing but time on our hands
And the world at our fingertips
Time is such a fleeting, funny thing
You always think you got more than you need
But now you're gone and so am I
Three hours and a lifetime divide

You told me you loved me that night
In the glow of passing headlights
And I believed you this time
I felt a certain warmth in your eyes

You told me you wrote me a letter
Many, many years ago
But it was returned to sender
Like my love, where does it go

Please don't feed me
I'll come back for more
Like an animal at your front door
If you don't want me
Just tell me now
Cause I can't help myself
Oh, no no

It felt so real that night
The feeling of you on my skin
And I could've spent my whole life
Gettin used to that feelin
But you're afraid of what's real
So you'll escape the way the way you do
And I'll do my best to escape these feelings of you
Drowning in a bottle meant for two

One night to remember, two years to forget
But the body forgets pain so I'll see you then
We'll keep doing this dance 'til one of us dies
But it kills me a little more each time

I just want to love you but you won't let me
I'd give you everything I could
But I'm learning that just because I can
Doesn't mean that I should

Please don't feed me
I'll come back for more
Like an animal at your front door
If you don't want me
Just tell me now
Cause I can't help myself
Oh, no

You told me you wrote me a letter
Many, many years ago
But it got returned to sender
Like my love
Where does it go

I never got to say goodbye
So here is your letter
But this one's been postmarked
Return to sender
All the love that I gave you
I'll give to myself
In hopes that I'll get better
Sincerely, see you never
