about

This song is based on a pen pal that Kar had from the age of 17 to 21.

lyrics

Out on the veda field.
Don’t know what is real.
Good and bad in the dirt.
Seeping threading through my shirt

Don’t know what, don’t know why
You stare at the sky.
Writing letters all day.
You sign off with good night,
I’ll talk to you later today.

Out on the veda field
Don’t know what is real.
Good and bad in the dirt.
We make it better,
Make it feel like it won’t hurt.

I call you at 2am
You say I’m your best friend.
I’m pen pal for real
Don’t know when I’ll see you
I’ll see you, I’ll see you later.

Out in the midwest
That’s your home address
Writing letters all night
It makes me feel better
It makes me feel alright

One day we will grow up
All these words will stop
But I’ve kept your letters
I wish you well, keep well,
I know we’re both doing much better.
