It's like I'm writing a letter 00:21

In the Atlantic on a whim 'cause I know I've been gone too long 00:27
But I'm writing a song 00:33

[English]

It's like I'm writing a letter
And I put in a 12-ounce bottle of Heineken
In the Atlantic on a whim 'cause I know I've been gone too long
But I'm writing a song
It's like I'm writing a letter, but I'm writing a song
It's like I'm writing a letter, but I'm writing a song
It's like I'm writing a letter, but I'm writing a song
Can you just bear with me? We were ten years in
And young and dumb and innocent, my friend
But I knew all along that we were both wrong
It's like I'm writing a letter, but I'm writing a song
It's like I'm writing a letter, but I'm writing a song
It's like I'm writing a letter, but I'm writing a song

I didn't leave ya, I still see ya
When I'm bumping Ashanti, yeah, on a beach, yeah
I didn't hold ya, but I still know ya
We will make up, make things right when we get older, friend
Twin, twin, twin
You and I, we drifted apart
Twin, twin, twin
Like the white clouds under the stars
Do you feel a way? I blamed the timing wasn't timing
We was fighting and colliding, man, I just couldn't stay
And I keep your name so, so, so tightly to my heartbeat
Guess I lost you, and you lost me, but I put fuel to your flame
I didn't leave ya, I still see ya
When I'm bumping Ashanti, yeah, on a beach, yeah
I didn't hold ya, but I still know ya
We will make up, make things right when we get older, friend
Twin, twin, twin
You and I, we drifted apart
Twin, twin, twin
Like the white clouds under the stars
Swim, swim, twin
You and I, we drifted apart
Twin, twin, twin
