[Verse 1]
These notes are marked "Return to Sender"
I'll save this letter for myself
I wish you only knew how good it is to see you
See you
See you, ooh ooh
Ooh ooh

[Verse 2]
These steps I take don't get me anywhere
I'm getting further from myself
One thing is always true
How good it is to see you
See you
See you, ooh ooh
Ooh ooh

[Bridge]
I'm done resenting you
You represented me so well
And this I promise you
How could I end up in the hands of someone else

[Verse 3]
These notes are marked "Return to Sender"
I'll save this letter for myself
I wish you only knew how good it is to see you
See you
See you
See you
See you, ooh ooh
Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh

Foo Fighters are an American rock band formed in 1995 by former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl. Originally a solo project by him to overcome the grief of Kurt Cobain’s death, Grohl attracted label interest with his inaugural demo tape.

According to Dave Grohl, the band is named after the UFOs that were reported by Allied aircraft pilots in World War II.

I was reading a lot of books on UFOs. Not only is it a fascinating subject, but there’s a treasure trove of band names in those UFO books! So, since I had recorded the first record by myself, playing all the instruments, but I wanted people to think that it was a group, I figured that FOO FIGHTERS might lead people to believe that it was more than just one guy. Silly, huh?
