Old Fashioned Letters Lyrics
you still write me old fashioned letters
put your perfume on the pages
with crossed out words that you took back
like "do you really miss me?"
but in my own way i take you everywhere i go
and it feels like home
cause i can hear you say "it's gonna be ok"
this waking life's a dream
but it's not right with me to have to hear your voice
reaching through the wire
and it's not fair to be 3000 miles away
from california
days like this i feel the distance
i wanna run but i resist it
with cold reminders all around me
of what i left behind
but it's not right with me to have to hear your voice
reaching through the wire
and it's not fair to be 3000 miles away
from california..
oh it doesn't feel the same
nothing feels the same..
without you.
CHORUS
but in my own way i take you everywhere i go
and it feels like home..
put your perfume on the pages
with crossed out words that you took back
like "do you really miss me?"
and it feels like home
cause i can hear you say "it's gonna be ok"
this waking life's a dream
reaching through the wire
and it's not fair to be 3000 miles away
from california
i wanna run but i resist it
with cold reminders all around me
of what i left behind
reaching through the wire
and it's not fair to be 3000 miles away
from california..
nothing feels the same..
without you.
and it feels like home..

to me, this song is about missing someone who means the world to you. it's about wanting to be with that person and for whatever reason you can't. however, in the chorus, there is a sense of hope.
it's a terribly sad song. tragic, yet beautiful.
this is a song about a young love lost by distance, and 40 years later reunited, but they still cannot be together because each has separate lives. They have tried, it is really hard. Their love will never die, and they will communicate but may never see each other again.

this song is beautiful. i think it's about missing someone so much that nothing feels right without them, that even when something amazing happens it's only half as good without the other person.
To me, it's like a soldier singing to his sweetheart, unable to be home with his loved ones.
