lyrics

(forty times)

She told me on the phone she has read it forty times
The letter with the wrong year and the middle name spelled wrong
Forty times a woman has sat down with half a page
Because it was the only one that anybody sent

Forty times, forty times, forty times, forty times
I was so worried about getting the words right
Forty times, forty times, forty times, forty times
And the words were never once the thing that mattered

She said the bit she reads is where I got the year wrong,
because it proves a person wrote it and not a card shop.
The mistake is the part that works. The mistake is the whole letter.
(BAND EXPLODES)
