Love Letters - DeVotchKa

It’s not my place to speak of these things

I know it’s bad luck and curses it brings

But it’s impossible for me to avoid

The boy you once loved, I think I have destroyed

And I really should just let it go

It’s clearly out of my control

I should be cold, I should be detached

Oh, but you would never fall for that

Are you still in love with the sound of your voice?

It floats all around and above all the noise

And then it grows fingers and scratches my skin

And plucks at my heartstrings till I let you in

I guess all is forgotten and nothing’s forgiven

I know what you’re holding and I know where it’s hidden

It’s somewhere back in your memory

There’s a younger, prettier version of me

That’s the message I want to transmit

That’s the boy I want you to go home with

Oh we’ve come all this way to forget where we are

We’ll stumble around underneath all the stars

I’d write you love letters, but the light is too dim

I walk you through places we’ve already been

Are you still in love?

Are you still in love with me?

I am still in love

Are you still in love with me?

I guess all is forgotten and nothings forgiven

I know what you’re holding and I know where it’s hidden

Somewhere back in your memory

There’s a younger, prettier version of me

Yes I’m still in love

With the sound of your voice

It floats all around and above all this noise

And then it grows fingers and scratches my skin

And plucks at my heartstrings till I let you in

Yes I’m still in love

Are you still in love with me?

Yes I’m still in love

Are you still in love with me?

I guess all is forgotten and nothing’s forgiven

I know what you’re holding and I know where it’s hidden

Somewhere back in your memory

There’s a younger, prettier version of me

That’s the message I want to transmit

That’s the boy I want you to go home with
