She said "lighten your load, I'm a professional
Give me your darkness, or hold it...
Write down what you think the future holds."
"That's an image to hold," she said
"Put it in your back pocket. It's not a map for the road
It's a could be, a moment you'd be erasing away
When you find you're racing away, read it one more time."
I read your letter, it made me feel better
Better and worse at the same time
I couldn't believe just how you saw us
Saw us building and crumbling too
You read my letter, it made you feel better
Better and worse at the same time
My, we had a second shot
And I wasn't gone for quite so long
"So how do you feel?"
"Like I want to be near you," I said
"Why is it so damn hard to know what it is I want?"
I read your letter, it made me feel better
Better and worse at the same time
I couldn't believe just how you saw us
With so much to believe in me
You read my letter
It made you feel better
Better and worse at the same time
My, we had a second shot
And I wasn't gone for quite so long
This time I wasn't gone for quite so long
