Aimee sings "Dear John" (original)

Written in 2004, the usual folky confessional:

Lyrics:
It could drive you insane
thinking about it too much
how big this place really is
and how far you must reach to touch
someone who needs you

when I look at you
i see too far
and I miss the beauty
right in front of me
sometimes I think i'm over thinking
i have to close my eyes to really see

so what's the point
i'm trying to make here?
i'll just hand over the wheel
it's your turn to steer
steer me away from all this over thinking
over analyzing, over criticizing
my head needs to clear
so if you don't mind
it's your turn to steer
it's your turn to steer dear

'cause i need to let myself go
i need to pack myself into
a little brown box
and carry myself out the front door
then i might be saved
with any luck

sometimes i think i
can't be trusted with
my own thoughts
i get far too caught up in
all of the "shoulds" and the "should nots"
like i'm connected to some holy ruler
who always thinks that he knows better
how did i get to be so distracted?
i need to write myself a dear john letter

so what's the point
i'm trying to make here?
i'll just hand over the wheel
it's your turn to steer
steer me away from all this over thinking
over analyzing, over criticizing
my head needs to clear
so if you don't mind
it's your turn to steer
it's your turn to steer dear

'cause i need to let myself go
i need to pack myself into
a little brown box
and carry myself out the front door
then i might be saved
with any luck

well, i think i let myself
get carried away again
sometimes i just can't control this pen
it tattoos the pages with all of my rages
it releases them from their little cages
the ones that live deep within me
but when i write i hold the key
when i write
i i i
i let myself go free
and i let myself go
i let myself go

i let myself go
i pack myself into a little brown box
and carry myself out the front door
i might be saved with any luck

i let myself go
i pack myself into a little brown box
and carry myself out the front door
i might be saved with any luck

i write myself a dear john letter
and carry myself out the front door
