[Verse] Neon hums a quiet tune On this cracked motel wall Ink still wet on paper, Words I never said at all Fingers trace the keys so slow Like ghosts of you and me A million miles between us But I’m here, just like a memory [Pre-Chorus] The tape deck plays a faded song That used to mean the world to us I’m typing now, just to keep you near No way to send it — just let it be [Chorus] Oh, I wrote you a love letter on a ribbon of light In the glow of old dreams, in the dead of night Every word is a signal, a spark in the static Even if you never read it — it’s real, it’s true, it’s real, it’s true Oh, I wrote you a love letter on a ribbon of light [Bridge] The clock ticks back to ’87 When we said, “I’ll never leave” Now the room’s just echoes Of a name I still can’t speak But this typewriter knows What my voice couldn’t say And I hope, somewhere, you still hear the sound Of my heart on a looped-out day [Chorus] Oh, I wrote you a love letter on a ribbon of light In the glow of old dreams, in the dead of night Every word is a signal, a spark in the static Even if you never read it — it’s real, it’s true, it’s real, it’s true Oh, I wrote you a love letter on a ribbon of light [Outro] Tap… tap… tap… Just like you used to laugh Tap… tap… tap… And I’m still here, like the night Tap… tap… tap… I wrote you a love letter… Just in case you were listening Tap… tap… tap…
