Letters to Send

Another song from our live sets that's never had a proper recording done. When we do it live it's just vocals and baritone ukulele, but we have a bit more of a lush arrangement here again.
I wrote this on a 12-string in 2020 or so when life was particularly weird. Gmaj7 just has a particularly dreamy nature...I was singing random words along with the chords making up a melody, and came up with the first half of the chorus. I wrote the rest of the song around that idea.
Once again my wife returns to supply vocals - I love how she sounds in this one.
Talking to you
Across a great forever
Trying to bridge a wide divide
Wanting to find a way
To reach your tomorrow
But getting lost in the noise
I don't know what to say
Or how to reach you anyway
Letters to send, Letters to send, Letters to send
But we're right back where we started
Letters to send
Cause I want you to hear me
Letters to send, Letters to send, Letters to send
Like a paper airplane soaring
Into a void
Letters to send
Wanting to reach across and
Touch the feeling
Building a bridge to the time
Nothing I say could ever
Cross the chasm
Emotions thrown in a well
I don't know what to say
You won't listen anyway
Letters to send, Letters to send, Letters to send
But we're right back where we started
Letters to send
Cause I want you to hear me
Letters to send, Letters to send, Letters to send
Like a paper airplane soaring
Into a void
Letters to send
Letters to send
Like a paper airplane soaring
Letters to send
Letters to send
Like a paper airplane soaring
Letters to send
Letters to send
Letters to send
