It's been three days since I sent you the letter, I wish you would reply and say you love me
And even if you don't, don't leave me hanging, I can feel your presence like the sun always circling above me
Pulling my body upward from the earth only to burn it in the sky
How stupid was I, to think that you could make me fly
It's been three days since I told you my feelings, that you're the only one for me, you know it
And even if you aren't, don't leave me hanging, I would hate to waste my life loving you and never showing it
Every day pretending that things are just the best and that I couldn't care less where you are
And then looking out the night window and hoping that you see the same bright stars
It's been three days since I taught myself the F chord, I'd like to think that you would want to hear it
And even if you don't, I still use a capo; knowing how to play it doesn't mean that I don't fear it
I wrote you this song because I don't have your number and I don't know how else I can say
That if you would be with me, I would make you happy every single day
You say no way, that no one can, but I'd like to think that I would know much better
Just how great a girlfriend I can be, if you'd just answer my letter
