Lyrics

I wrote a letter on a napkin
Then I wrote it out again
Pen ran out on the third line
So I finished it in pencil
Licked the stamp and it got stuck
Stuck right to my thumb
Walked it to the mailbox
Heart going drum drum drum

Don't open it, don't open it
Wait, no, go ahead

Dear Dana, dear Dana
Stamped and sealed and shaking
Dear Dana, dear Dana
My handwriting is breaking
It says I miss you, it says hey
It says I'm sorry for the things I never say
Dear Dana, dear Dana
Please write back today

I spelled your name wrong twice
Then I got it right
Drew a little lightning bolt
Because the page looked light
The mailbox went clunk
Now it's gone for good
I stood there like a statue
In my worn out hood

Don't open it, don't open it
Wait, no, go ahead

Dear Dana, dear Dana
Stamped and sealed and shaking
Dear Dana, dear Dana
My handwriting is breaking
It says I miss you, it says hey
It says I'm sorry for the things I never say
Dear Dana, dear Dana
Please write back today

Three days, four days
Every day I check
Just bills and pizza coupons
Piling up on the deck
Then one blue envelope
With a doodle on the flap
A lightning bolt, a lightning bolt
And my heart goes clap clap clap

Dear Dana, dear Dana
Stamped and sealed and shaking
Dear Dana, dear Dana
My handwriting is breaking
It says I miss you, it says hey
It says come over, we can talk all day
Dear Dana, dear Dana
You wrote back today

You wrote back today
Hey, you wrote back today
