Lyrics
So I hope you keep those memories in a diary on the nightstand by your bed
A long detailed anthology of all the mysteries locked away inside your head
Because it looks like I'll miss this: another Christmas, another birthday, another round
One more summer, one more season, one more winter without a sound
Write it, write it, write it down; I will read it when the days don't move so fast
Yeah, write it, write it, write it down, it's the story of a thousand seasons past
So now we have all this technology to send apologies that swim inside our heads
Our words bouncing off the satellites through the lonely nights landing right inside our hands
But words are not as romantic as they cross the Atlantic in some virtual cry for help
Spend one more summer, one more season, one more winter by yourself
Write it, write it, write it down; I will read it when the days don't move so fast
Yeah, write it, write it, write it down, it's the story of a thousand seasons past
But words are not as romantic as they cross the Atlantic in some virtual cry for help
Write it, write it, write it down; I will read it when the days don't move so fast
Yeah, write it, write it, write it down, it's the story of a thousand seasons past
