How Much You Mean To Me

I’m on my way to the USA

So give me your address

And I will send you

The only white dove from New York City

To call out your zip code in the Grand Canyon

I know you don’t really read my letters

The very thought of not knowing

The exact location of the room

Where we shared our last kiss

Will eventually kill me

Cause it wasn’t just any kiss

It wasn’t like our first

Or our second kiss

Or our millionth kiss

But it was a perfect kiss

It was a kiss we had been working on forever

You don’t know how much you mean to me, to me

You don’t know how much you mean to me, to me

I guess I should be ashamed

I’ve already caused so much trouble

I had something going on with another girl

And then another one after that

I just couldn’t get you out of my head

So I grew tired of them

You know, I had I plan that involved you

But maybe that’s not a very good idea

Cause I know you have a guy now

And I know that you’re happy

Living your life the way you do

And I’m not here to ask you to change your life

I guess I just wanna let you know how I feel about you

I just wanna go on with my life you know

You don’t know how much you mean to me, to me

You don’t know how much you mean to me, to me

I’m in Bloomington tonight and I miss you

Feels like all I’ve accomplished means nothing

Feels like my whole existence and history has been

erased

I opened up a sealed envelope and it contained an

eternity

Of memories that I’ve never experienced

So I can't explain this in one sentence now

I just keep going on

You know, I had a plan

That involved getting on with my life

But maybe that’s not a very good idea

I’m alone now

I would be so afraid if someone put their arms around

me

You don’t know how much you mean to me, to me

You don’t know how much you mean to me, to me

You don’t know how much you mean to me, to me

You don’t know how much you mean to me, to me

You don’t know how much you mean to me, to me
