Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You left the window open
You are the second person I called
You did not answer either
Every line addresses "you"
[Chorus]
On writing to your future self
A version I have not met yet
Sung close to the microphone
Almost a whisper, not a fret
[Verse 2]
You-directed Lisbon song
Written to someone not yet known
The window stays open
And I am singing alone
[Chorus]
On writing to your future self
A version I have not met yet
Sung close to the microphone
Almost a whisper, not a fret
[Bridge]
You did not answer either
But I keep calling anyway
Second person, future self
I will find you someday
[Chorus]
On writing to your future self
A version I have not met yet
Sung close to the microphone
Almost a whisper, not a fret
[Outro]
You left the window open
You did not answer either
