Return Post - Bangles

Writing the lines as they come to me 
Scratching them out almost immediatelly 
Don't know what it's done to me 
Well, it's cold, it's wet 
and it's been raining all night 
and there's a letter I've been trying to write 
Something better waiting somewhere for me 
One of them is sitting on the wrong coast 
One awaits an answer by return post, waiting 

Try to remember how long it's been 
When there was more 
to us than paper and pen 
Think how easy it is to conceal 
And I know when we're together again 
We'll be strangers for an hour and then 
We'll have to figure out if this thing is real 
One of them is sitting on the wrong coast 
One awaits an answer by return post, waiting 

Cold and wet and rain all night 
There's a letter I gotta write 
Something better is waiting for me 
One of them is sitting on the east coast 
One awaits an answer by return post, waiting 
And take a drink and staring out the window 
Wondering how long this can continue, waiting
