hahaha. dear nicole, i was reminded of you the other night.
maybe i didn't write to you because i was scared
thought maybe you'd forgotten, it didn't really mean that much
maybe i just got "busy" with something else, you know how we do
maybe once the song left my head, it didn't seem so important
since you've heard it a hundred times
but i remember all the same,
and i still follow your story nearly every day,
when it makes the news
just want to apologize
i haven't been the friend i should've been, lately
will you unknowingly forgive me
and next time that i hear our song
flying down the road to coffee, late on a summer night
i'll call you and i'll cry into the phone
i'll do the same, hang up before the message saves
and maybe i didn't write because i knew it didn't matter
maybe i didn't write because the punchline lost its luster
maybe i didn't write to you...
but i did and then i let the letter fly through my fingers to dance freely down the highway and pass up all the cars and now you'll never know
how rufus, he still makes me laugh
