1
Chorus: Dido
2
My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I..
3
Got out of bed at all
4
The morning rain clouds up my window..
5
And I can't see at all
6
And even if I could it'd all be gray,
7
But your picture on my wall
8
It reminds me, that it's not so bad,
9
It's not so bad..
10
1st Chorus: volume gradually grows over raindrop background
11
2nd Chorus: full volume with beat right after "thunder" noise
12
[Eminem as 'Stan']
13
Dear Slim, I wrote but you still ain't callin'
14
I left my cell, my pager, and my home phone at the bottom
15
I sent two letters back in autumn, you must not-a got 'em
16
There probably was a problem at the post office or something
17
Sometimes I scribble addresses too sloppy when I jot 'em
18
But anyways; fuck it, what's been up? Man how's your daughter?
19
My girlfriend's pregnant too, I'm bout to be a father
20
If I have a daughter, guess what I'm a call her?
21
I'm a name her Bonnie
22
I read about your Uncle Ronnie too I'm sorry
23
I had a friend kill himself over some bitch who didn't want him
24
I know you probably hear this everyday, but I'm your biggest fan
25
I even got the underground shit that you did with Skam
26
I got a room full of your posters and your pictures man
27
I like the shit you did with Ruckus too, that shit was phat
28
Anyways, I hope you get this man, hit me back,
29
Just to chat, truly yours, your biggest fan
30
This is Stan
31
{Chorus: Dido}
32
[Eminem as 'Stan']
33
Dear Slim, you still ain't called or wrote, I hope you have a chance
34
I ain't mad - I just think it's fucked up you don't answer fans
35
If you didn't wanna talk to me outside your concert
36
You didn't have to, but you coulda signed an autograph for Matthew
37
That's my little brother man, he's only six years old
38
We waited in the blistering cold for you,
39
Four hours and you just said, "No."
40
That's pretty shitty man - you're like his fucking idol
41
He wants to be just like you man, he likes you more than I do
42
I ain't that mad though, I just don't like being lied to
43
Remember when we met in Denver - you said if I'd write you
44
You would write back - see I'm just like you in a way
45
I never knew my father neither;
46
He used to always cheat on my mom and beat her
47
I can relate to what you're saying in your songs
48
So when I have a shitty day, I drift away and put 'em on
49
Cause I don't really got shit else so that shit helps when I'm depressed
50
I even got a tattoo with your name across the chest
51
Sometimes I even cut myself to see how much it bleeds
52
It's like adrenaline, the pain is such a sudden rush for me
53
See everything you say is real, and I respect you cause you tell it
54
My girlfriend's jealous cause I talk about you 24/7
55
But she don't know you like I know you Slim, no one does
56
She don't know what it was like for people like us growin' up
57
You gotta call me man, I'll be the biggest fan you'll ever lose
58
Sincerely yours, Stan -- P. S.
59
We should be together too
60
{Chorus: Dido}
61
[Eminem as 'Stan']
62
Dear Mister-I'm-Too-Good-To-Call-Or-Write-My-Fans,
63
This'll be the last package I ever send your ass
64
It's been six months and still no word - I don't deserve it?
65
I know you got my last two letters;
66
I wrote the addresses on 'em perfect
67
So this is my cassette I'm sending you, I hope you hear it
68
I'm in the car right now, I'm doing 90 on the freeway
69
Hey Slim, I drank a fifth of vodka, you dare me to drive?
70
You know the song by Phil Collins, "In the Air of the Night"
71
About that guy who coulda saved that other guy from drowning
72
But didn't, then Phil saw it all, then at a show he found him?
73
That's kinda how this is, you coulda rescued me from drowning
74
Now it's too late - I'm on a 1000 downers now, I'm drowsy
75
And all I wanted was a lousy letter or a call
76
I hope you know I ripped all of your pictures off the wall
77
I love you Slim, we coulda been together, think about it
78
You ruined it now, I hope you can't sleep and you dream about it
79
And when you dream I hope you can't sleep and you scream about it
80
I hope your conscience eats at you and you can't breathe without me
81
See Slim; {*screaming*}
82
Shut up bitch! I'm trying to talk!
83
Hey Slim, that's my girlfriend screamin' in the trunk
84
But I didn't slit her throat, I just tied her up, see I ain't like you
85
Cause if she suffocates she'll suffer more, and then she'll die too
86
Well, gotta go, I'm almost at the bridge now
87
Oh shit, I forgot, how am I supposed to send this shit out?
88
{Chorus: Dido}
89
[Eminem]
90
Dear Stan, I meant to write you sooner but I just been busy
91
You said your girlfriend's pregnant now, how far along is she?
92
Look, I'm really flattered you would call your daughter that
93
And here's an autograph for your brother,
94
I wrote it on the Starter cap
95
I'm sorry I didn't see you at the show, I musta missed you
96
Don't think I did that shit intentionally just to diss you
97
But what's this shit you said about you like to cut your wrists too?
98
I say that shit just clowning dog,
99
C'mon - how fucked up is you?
100
You got some issues Stan, I think you need some counseling
101
To help your ass from bouncing off the walls when you get down some
102
And what's this shit about us meant to be together?
103
That type of shit'll make me not want us to meet each other
104
I really think you and your girlfriend need each other
105
Or maybe you just need to treat her better
106
I hope you get to read this letter, I just hope it reaches you in time
107
Before you hurt yourself, I think that you'll be doin just fine
108
If you relax a little, I'm glad I inspire you but Stan
109
Why are you so mad? Try to understand, that I do want you as a fan
110
I just don't want you to do some crazy shit
111
I seen this one shit on the news a couple weeks ago that made me sick
112
Some dude was drunk and drove his car over a bridge
113
And had his girlfriend in the trunk, and she was pregnant with his kid
114
And in the car they found a tape, but they didn't say who it was to
115
Come to think about, his name was.. It was you
116
Damn!
