Write Me A Letter
No More Kings Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I been gone for days without a destination
Another step might do me in
See, I'm wearing thin, I need a restoration
You know I wish these streets were paved
A little more behaved, a little less untamed
I can't say that it's all been fun
I think I've gone away
So please say you will write me a letter
I don't feel so good today
But I know in your way you could make me feel better
It would be nice to have it written down
The times I helped out, you couldn't have done it without me
I met my fate but I was worth my weight
Don't hesitate to say something good about me
I think I've gone away
So please say you will write me a letter
I don't feel so good today
But I know in your way you could make me feel better
I think I've gone away
So please say you will write me a letter
I don't feel so good today
But I know in your way you could make me feel better
The lyrics to "Write Me a Letter" by No More Kings express the singer's need for encouragement and affirmation as he journeys through a difficult time. He feels worn out and directionless, longing for a sense of purpose and stability. The streets he walks are chaotic and unpredictable, making him yearn for something more structured and secure. Despite the challenges, he acknowledges that he has made valuable contributions to the lives of others, and he hopes that they will remember him fondly in his absence.
The chorus of the song is a plea for connection in a world that feels disconnected and isolating. The singer requests that his loved ones write him letters to remind him of his worth and to offer a sense of comfort in his struggles. He recognizes the power of words to uplift and inspire, and he trusts that his friends and family will be able to provide him with the support he needs to keep going.

I think I need my spirits raised
I am feeling down and could use some encouragement
I been gone for days without a destination
I have been traveling aimlessly for days
Another step might do me in
I am close to giving up
See, I'm wearing thin, I need a restoration
I am running out of energy and need to rejuvenate
You know I wish these streets were paved
I wish things were easier and more predictable
A little more behaved, a little less untamed
I want the world to be more orderly and less chaotic
I can't say that it's all been fun
My journey has been challenging
But when the trip is done, it's your claim to fame
My experiences will shape who I am and what I am known for
It would be nice to have it written down
I would appreciate recognition for the things I have done
The times I helped out, you couldn't have done it without me
I have played a significant role in others' lives
I met my fate but I was worth my weight
I accepted the consequences of my actions, but believe I made a positive impact
Don't hesitate to say something good about me
I hope to be remembered fondly
I think I've gone away
I feel distant and disconnected
So please say you will write me a letter
I am reaching out for support and connection
I don't feel so good today
I am having a tough time
But I know in your way you could make me feel better
I believe that hearing from you could lift my spirits
