Romanization
It’s like I’m writing a letter
and I put in a 12-ounce bottle of Heineken
In the Atlantic on a whim
Cuz 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 10 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 the beach yeah
I didn’t hold ya but I still know ya
We will make up make things right
when we get older, friend
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 the beach yeah
I didn’t hold ya but I still know ya
We will make up make things right
when we get older, friend
