    Story Behind the Song
    This track really shows the musical chops and songwriting skill of the band. A.R. Surface borrowed friend and later Promoter's Music Theory textbook their junior year of college, and has yet to give it back. In that time, he has taught himself music theory and classic chordal progression/musical framework. Brooke says if he keeps writing songs like the ones on Letters, he can keep the book indefinitely.

    Lyrics
    Well I got some news from you
    And it's coming down like lightning
    I could send a note to you
    But it'd never get there soon enough
    For me to let you know

    So you send the letter
    And you seal it with sarcasm
    So you write me a letter
    And I pack my suitcase
    (cause it's all I want and all I need)
    'Til I see your face
    I'll look you up, call you up
    So hold on 'til you ge ttht call from me

    Up and down the circle
    This one stays in place
    When I roll back the cover
    This is what I'll say;
    "When I see you standing,"
    Or some other old line
    And I'll wonder
    Is forever so ar away today?

    Well it's been a couple years
    Since I heard about your problems
    I could wait a couple more
    But I'd never wait just long enough
    For me to let you know

    You write the note,
    You try to say that all we are is in our heads
    You write the note, you write the letter
    You tr yto say that "I'll get better"
    You write the note, you write the letter,
    You try to say that we'll get better
