I’ve been meaning to write
And couldn’t find the time
I’ve been spending the nights
Trying hard to find to say
The things you want to hear
I’ve been wanting to say
And couldn’t find the words
I’ve been filling the days
Making plans that I’ll forget
Before the time arrives
Looking for the easy way
Wondering what the hell I’d say
To let you know I care
I was thinking I’d call
But never got the chance
It was nothing at all
Only trying to stay in touch
And tell you how I am
Lying awake and counting time
I tell you that I’m feeling fine
A pile of letters on the floor
I wrote the start then nothing more
I will some other day
Meaning to write
Meaning to write
I was hoping you’d ask
And didn’t make the move
But the moment has passed
Nothing ventured, something gained
The chance to start again
I’ve been meaning to write
And couldn’t find the time
