The Letter Never Sent

Official song lyrics: ‘The Letter Never Sent’ by Abu Sayed. Original writing and composition.

I’ve been staring at the ink across this folded page
Caught up in a fever that I simply cannot cage
I’ve got a thousand burning secrets that I want to share
But written words could never match the way I want you there
The gravel drive is quiet in the pouring rain
A rhythm matching every time I speak your name
I’ve got a coffee sitting heavy in an empty cup
I’m looking at the keys and thinking 'bout just showing up
Every single letter holds a piece of my desire
A quiet little spark that wants to start a roaring fire
I’m holding back the flood but the river's rising fast
Just waiting on a look from you to let it free at last
Oh, this is the letter never sent, the truth I need to show
A current pulling under, moving steady, deep and slow
I’m trading in the paper for the feeling of your skin
I’m driving to your door tonight and hoping you give in
Hoping you give in
Let the silent passion underneath begin
The headlights cut a shadow down the center of the road
I’m leaving all my hesitation safely in the cold
I’ve got the envelope beside me, but I tear it all apart
I’d rather have you close enough to listen to my heart
Every single letter holds a piece of my desire
A quiet little spark that wants to start a roaring fire
I’m holding back the flood but the river's rising fast
Just waiting on a look from you to let it free at last
Oh, this is the letter never sent, the truth I need to show
A current pulling under, moving steady, deep and slow
I’m trading in the paper for the feeling of your skin
I’m driving to your door tonight and hoping you give in
Hoping you give in
Let the silent passion underneath begin
I’m walking up your steps now as the rain begins to fade
Ready for the moment when the final card is played
I’ve been holding onto shadows in the quiet of the night
Now I’m stepping from the darkness and reaching for the light
You’re the only rhythm that Sayed will ever need
I’m following the gravity, wherever it may lead
Some confessions just don't belong on paper
I’d rather show you exactly what they mean
Oh, this is the letter never sent, the truth I finally show
A current pulling under, moving steady, deep and slow
I’m trading in the paper for the feeling of your skin
I’m standing at your door tonight and hoping you give in
