[00:10.20]I wrote a letter on a nothing day
[00:15.15]I asked somebody "Could you send my letter away?"
[00:20.37]"You are too young to put all of your hopes in just one envelope"
[00:27.75]
[00:31.26]I said goodbye to someone that I love
[00:36.56]It's not just me, I tell you it's the both of us
[00:41.81]And it was hard
[00:44.11]Like coming off the pills that you take to stay happy
[00:52.76]Someone above has seen me do alright
[00:57.87]Someone above is looking with a tender eye
[01:03.10]Upon your face, you may think you're alone but you may think again
[01:09.86]
[01:13.64]If I could do just one near perfect thing I'd be happy
[01:18.96]They'd write it on my grave, or when they scattered
[01:22.97]my ashes
[01:24.26]On second thoughts I'd rather hang around and
[01:27.69]Be there with my best friend
[01:30.32]If she wants me
[01:31.58]
[01:35.72]And far away somebody read the letter
[01:40.66]He condescends to read the words I wrote about him
[01:45.88]And if he smiles, it's no more than a genius deserves
[01:51.53]For all his curious nerve and your passion
[01:55.48]
[01:59.23]I'm going deaf, you're growing melancholy
[02:04.44]Things fall apart, I don't know why we bother at all
[02:09.67]But life is good and it's always worth living at least for a while
[02:16.34]
[02:20.26]If I could do just one near perfect thing I'd be happy
[02:25.59]They'd write it on my grave, or when they scattered
[02:29.24]my ashes
[02:30.95]On second thoughts I'd rather hang around and
[02:34.63]Be there with my best friend
[02:36.65]If she wants me
[02:37.96]
[03:24.86]If you think to yourself "What should I do now?"
[03:29.80]Then take the baton, girl, you better run with it
[03:35.05]Cause there is no point in standing in the past cause it's over and done with
[03:46.17]I took a book and went into the forest
[03:51.29]I climbed the hill, I wanted to look down on you
[03:56.69]But all I saw was twenty miles of wilderness so I went home
[04:03.47]
[04:06.85]If I could do just one near perfect thing I'd be happy
[04:12.30]They'd write it on my grave, or when they scattered
[04:15.90]my ashes
[04:17.62]On second thoughts I'd rather hang around and
[04:21.28]Be there with my best friend
[04:23.29]If she wants me
[04:24.96]
[04:28.51]If I could do just one near perfect thing I'd be happy
[04:33.62]They'd write it on my grave, or when they scattered
[04:37.23]my ashes
[04:38.90]On second thoughts I'd rather hang around and
[04:42.40]Be there with my best friend
[04:44.43]If she wants me
[04:46.24]
[04:47.82]She wants me yeah
[04:50.00]She wants me yeah
[04:52.66]She wants me yeah
