Got a note to give you
I'm not really done
Only writing pieces
A letter just for fun
Words are somewhat simple
It's taking me a while
To write firm or fickle
Thoughts to make you smile
Put a word on paper
It's already gone
Scribbled in the air; can't
See it in the sun
Have to start all over
Letters fly away
Windy days will take them
Messages will fade
Put a word on paper
Let the ink dry blue
Send it with a header
I'll know it comes from you
If you want to
You can write me back
We can just be pen pals
Tell me how you like that
Put it in a bottle
Throw it in the sea
I'll wait by the water
It'll get to me
And if you think your letter
Will be held up in the deep
Make your message shorter
So the weight won't make it sink
Give it time to get here
Longer than a day
Time will travel faster
If you have less to say
Put a word on paper
Let the ink dry blue
Send it with a header
I'll know it comes from you
Write it on paper
Shade of darker blue
Keeps the word from fading
Let the ink dry blue
I'll be waiting still
When the message comes
In a bottle filled
With the morning sum
I'll be waiting still
I'll be waiting still
I'll be waiting still
I'll be waiting still
Put it in a bottle
Throw it in the sea
I'll wait be the water
It'll get to me
Shade of darker hue
Let the ink dry blue
