"To You, From Me" lyrics

[*clears throat*]
Um
Hello, hello
So, I wanted to try and do something special
For someone very special to me
And so this is my attempt at doing that
Uh, yeah, here we go!

Even when we're miles apart
I have your voice but feel no touch
You are so close to my heart
But we're far from flesh and blood
See, in a world so full of dissonance
Our harmony's a flood inside my heart
I don't need cards or flying doves to feel our magic

See your smile makes me smile, no that's cringe
Your laugh makes me laugh, that's even worse
If my journey on this path could ever lead to losing you
I know which path is not my path
You're a blessing from the sky
You're the thief that stole my mind
You're the reason why I think of you all the time
You're the little tiny bug that found its way inside my ear
And now I can't think a thought without wishing you were here

And I know you don't care
I know that no one even asked
But you're who motivates me when I'm sad
You're the high school crush that I knew that I always wanted
But thought that I'd never have
Always missing my other half, that's you

And if I had a shiny nickel, for every time that I missed you
I'd use them to buy the moon
Then sell the moon to North Korea
Then use all their fancy missiles to blow craters in that moon until it spelled out our initials

Okay wait, that's absurd
Sorry, I'm bad with words
Let me start over
I guess
What I'm trying to say
Argh, I'm messing this up
I thought about this for days
I just, haven't found the guts to tell you truly I'm in-

Look
I'm not used to spending my time
Floating up on cloud nine, with you up in my mind
I used to spend my summers there, it turned to every weekend
Now, I find myself among the clouds when I should be home sleeping
That's your fault, that's right, I blame you
I blame you for all my birthday wishes that came true
Ever since we started dating
I am not the same dude
I've changed for the better!
I blame you for that too

I really think we got this
I won't talk to you how they talked
I'd hike a million miles, 'cause a thousand is a cake-walk
Give it to me straight, Doc
I think it's meant to be
And you would think so too if you knew what you meant to me (Aww)

You know
I could ramble on for hours
But the words would never match up perfectly to show the power that you hold
I thought that Midas was a king?
So how come ever since you touched my heart
Everything has turned to gold?

You could still warm my heart if I lived up in the Arctic
And everything I felt was freezing cold

My dream is growing old
With you

But this letter ain't on paper
Because mailing stuff is hard
So, you'll just have to imagine hugs and kisses on the card
But it's no longer "Yours truly" that I'm writing at the end
It's "Love Nate, XO, until we meet again"

P.S
You're perfect 'cause you always skip the BS
I really hope you smile when you see this

Write me back soon
I love you
