Postcards Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sundays sitting on your back porch
And I came on with a couple of chords
And I played for you
You let me keep you entertained
With stories I exaggerate
That you know aren't true
And as you sit there making daisy chains
And I throw in a hand grenade
And tell you how it is I really feel for you


[Chorus]
I'm sending postcards from my heart
Your love for a postmark and then
You know that you make me feel like
We've been caught like kids in the schoolyard again
And I can't keep it to myself
Can't spell it any better
L.O.V.E forever
I hope you know that
I'm sending a postcard
I don't care who sees what I've said
Or if the whole world knows what's in my head


[Verse 2]
We chased the sun til it got away
On a bicycle that your daddy made
But not made for two
Then we sat out on your rocking chair
You with a flower in your hair
That I found for you
But then Monday always comes around
And it's sad cause I can't see you now
Want you to know you're always in my head
[Chorus]
I'm sending postcards from my heart
Your love for a postmark and then
You know that you make me feel like
We've been caught like kids in the schoolyard again
And I can't keep it to myself
Can't spell it any better
L.O.V.E forever
I hope you know that
I'm sending a postcard
I don't care who sees what I've said
Or if the whole world knows what's in my head

[Bridge]
You know sometimes it's hard to see
You say the words that torture me
But inside I know exactly how I feel
The things that I can't say out loud
I'll find a place to write it down
I hope that they will find you in the end

[Chorus]
I'm sending postcards from my heart
Your love for a postmark and then
You know that you make me feel like
We've been caught like kids in the schoolyard again
And I can't keep it to myself
Can't spell it any better
L.O.V.E forever
I hope you know that
I'm sending a postcard
I don't care who sees what I've said
Or if the whole world knows what's in my head
[Outro]
Know oh oh know oh oh know oh oh
All the things I want you to know oh oh know oh oh know oh oh (5x)
All the things I want you to know

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
