As Soon as I Read Your Letter Lyrics

Lost love lives in hanging thoughts

Forgotten forget me nots

Sentences you left to rot

'Cause you'd sound paranoid

It's in the plans you made for June

Canceled in May when she left you

Tickets torn 'neath an empty moon

Lost to the void

Your sacred truth

Is drying out on the roof

In the cracked rosette that told your last good news

I been left for dead

Trampled in my bed

Watched my last hope float off on a stray balloon

If the world outside

Don't come as advertised

I'm still humming the melody to your favorite tune

If you need a thing

How could I not be there for you?

Lost love lives in looking back

On all the things you could've had

Sharing kids and dreams and funny fads

Growing old growing gray

It's in the checks you waited to cash

'Til at the bank they bounced to the last

Stuck you standing there with paper slips

Stamped void on your name

It may be gone

But a voice lingers on

That's chasing you through every empty room

I been down so low

The canyons felt like home

I still wince when I wake to see you're not around

If it gets you down

Should the jewels fall from your crown

If you wince when it feels like it felt when I came 'round

If you need a thing

How could I not be there for you?

On the bed of a former crush

'neath a canopy of almost was

Waits for sleep that never comes

As it dreams of a home

Lost love lives in letting go

And making peace with wounds that grow

And grow, and grow, and grow, and grow, and grow

Oh the knife ran deep

I still feel it in my sleep

Like a hole in the shape of a girl I used to know

You can call it growing

But we're all just losing bones

And you feel 'em when you wonder where they go

If you need a thing

How could I not be there for you?

There for you
