Lyrics: JOHN LANDON MCINTOSH
Music: JOHN LANDON MCINTOSH
[Verse 1]
Dear John, I found your note
Folded in my coat pocket
Coffee stain, January rain
Still on the paper, don’t mock it
You said, “Leave the door unlocked”
For the girl you haven’t met yet
I laughed, then I cried
At the things I almost forget
[Pre-Chorus]
If you’re still out there
Learning how to stay
Save me a seat
In the mess of today
[Chorus]
Dear John tomorrow
Don’t let me fold
Dear John tomorrow
Keep what you know
If I lose my way
Read this again
Dear John tomorrow
Bring me back in
[Verse 2]
I’ve got a scar by my thumb
From the summer fence I climbed
You got a kinder mouth
I’m still learning how to use mine
There’s a blue bike in the shed
And a song I never finished
If you hear me going quiet
Promise you won’t let me miss it
[Pre-Chorus]
If you’re still out there
Under your own sky
Say my name once
And I’ll know I’m alright
[Chorus]
Dear John tomorrow
Don’t let me fold
Dear John tomorrow
Keep what you know
If I lose my way
Read this again
Dear John tomorrow
Bring me back in
[Bridge]
Maybe I’m the one
Who left the lights on
Maybe I’m the road
And the road was gone
Still, I’m sending this
Through the dark and wrong
To the only me
That can carry on
[Final Chorus]
Dear John tomorrow
Don’t let me fold
Dear John tomorrow
Keep what you know
If I lose my way
Read this again
Dear John tomorrow
Bring me back in
Dear John tomorrow
I’m almost home
Dear John tomorrow
Don’t let me go
