Hello Saferide -Long Lost Penpal



最先是听到Hello Saferide的那首Get Sick Soon，虽然歌词写得很有意思，很俏皮，但我更喜欢的是她的声音，上网搜了她的相关信息，就将她的整张专辑《Introducing...》下载了。整张专辑听完后，更喜欢这首Long Lost Penpal。关于这张专辑评价中有这么一句：“这是一张关于相思成灾，寂寞无眠和美好回忆的专辑，洋溢其中的淳淳爱意令人迷醉。”Long Lost Penpal 唱的应该是关于美好回忆吧。





Long Lost Penpal

Hello
Do you remember me
I am your long lost pen pal
It must have been ten years ago we last wrote
I don't really know what happened
I guess life came in the way
Let me know if you're still alive
Let me know if you ever used that knife or not

Hello
Yes I remember you
I've got a husband and two children now
I work as an accountant and make fairly good money
I still have your letters, you used a pink pen to write them
And you would comfort me
when my tears would stain the ink
And I would send you mix tapes with Kate Bush on

I have to admit I sometimes lied in those letters
Tried to make life better than it was
I still wasn't kissed at sixteen
And I still need a friend

There was this letter
I never told you this back then
But it would be fair to say it saved my life
I sat in the window
The only one left out from a party again
Pretty sure I didn't have a single friend
Then I checked the mailbox

Dear long lost penpal
I was lying the whole time
I'm really a 46 years old man named Luke
I have three children
and a wife, she doesn't care
And I hope you don't resent me
And I hope you do not hate me
For trying to find my way back to what it's like to be young

I have to admit I sometimes lied in those letters
Tried to make life better than it was
I still wasn't kissed at sixteen
And I still need a friend
