Postcards Lyrics

I heard before

A long, long time ago

That things don't work that way

But it could work for us

I know your story

I've read it 60 times

God I love the way you talk

Come on and let me feel your trust

I can tell by the way you speak

You know I'm watching closely

Come on and let me hear you say

"Hey I love you" and if you saw me you'd love me too

Can't you tell that I'm just a while away

I know things are uncertain

But baby I just want to hold you

Write a little postcard

Say it's from a distant relative

To say they love you

Enough to write a postcard

And wonder if it was hard

Keeping it from now until forever

Now until forever

Now until forever

I brought a smile

I brought you flowers

I've been sitting on these ivory steps for hours

Man on the TV says you were in court today

Somehow I know things are gonna go our way

And I don't mind what the evidence suggests

yeah I don't mind what they're saying in the press

cus' I love you, and you don't even know my name

but I've got your image in a picture frame

I know things are uncertain

But baby I just want to hold you

Write a little postcard

Say it's from a distant relative

To say they love you

Enough to write a postcard

And wonder if it was hard

Keeping it from now until forever

Now until forever

But baby I just want to hold you

Write a little postcard

Say it's from a distant relative

To say they love you

Enough to write a postcard

And wonder if it was hard

Keeping it from now until forever

Now until forever

Now until forever

I heard before

(I brought a smile)

A long, long time ago

(I brought you flowers)

That things don't work that way

(I've been sitting on these ivory steps for hours)

But it could work for us

I know your story

(Man on the TV says you were in court today)

I've read it 60 times

God I love the way you talk

(Somehow I know things are gonna go our way)

Come on and let me feel your trust

I can tell by the way you speak

(And I don't mind what the evidence suggests)

You know I'm watching closely

(yeah I don't mind what they're saying in the press)

Come on and let me hear you say

(cus' I love you, and you don't even know my name)

"Hey I love you" and if you saw me you'd love me too

(but I've got your image in a picture frame)

Can't you tell that I'm just a while away

I know things are uncertain
