Write Me a Letter Lyrics

Just like they took away the Polaroid picture
Theyre gonna take away everything that means something
Today I think I saw ten thousand cell phones
But not one decent conversation
I know that youve had the worst winter
But that doesnt mean it wont get better
Just keep on listening to Jets to Brazil
And maybe youll find a way to change
(Chorus):
Im gonna write you a letter, hope you feel okay
The dead claps of a typewriter
Are like the poems of E.E. Cummings
You and me we from the same damn place
The one where you can hold it in your hand
When I first met you we were pen pals
And now youre the only one left
So keep on reading those Eckhart books
And know that I am here for you
(Chorus)
You know what they say about panda bears
Theyre carnivorous, and willing to learn
And I like that youre a panda bear
And I like the way that you write
Your sadness reminds me of Joni Mitchell
Depressing yet beautiful
So keep on listening to Sunny Day Real Estate
And know that you dont gotta change
(Chorus)

Just like they took away the Polaroid picture
Theyre gonna take away everything that means something
Today I think I saw ten thousand cell phones
But not one decent conversation
I know that youve had the worst winter
But that doesnt mean it wont get better
Just keep on listening to Jets to Brazil
And maybe youll find a way to change 
(Chorus):
Im gonna write you a letter, hope you feel okay
The dead claps of a typewriter
Are like the poems of E.E. Cummings
You and me we from the same damn place
The one where you can hold it in your hand
When I first met you we were pen pals
And now youre the only one left
So keep on reading those Eckhart books
And know that I am here for you 
(Chorus)
You know what they say about panda bears
Theyre carnivorous, and willing to learn
And I like that youre a panda bear
And I like the way that you write
Your sadness reminds me of Joni Mitchell
Depressing yet beautiful
So keep on listening to Sunny Day Real Estate
And know that you dont gotta change

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
