Postcard Boy
A Song About Me (And You)
[Intro]
You’re off the phone with your best friend
Talkin' about your mistakes from the weekend, oh, no doubt
You say you’re better than that
While you’re crying in my arms
But every time you drink, you wanna argue until bed
And every time I think I’d be better off instead
Your brown eyes make me weak with the moonlight in your hair

[Chorus]
‘Cause when you’re talkin' to me it all feels like a dream
You got a face out a magazine that I’d read
But if you stop being mean to me I’d let you see
What my heart's like
A green light for your love

And baby won’t you just talk to me, oh-oh please?
I feel alone in the night when it’s ju-ust me
Because you’re so fuckin' pretty, girl, and I can’t breathe
Unless you kiss me
You’ll miss me when I’m gone
Oh-oh-oh oh-oh

[Verse 1]
When the sunrise and the moonlight goes
I’ll let the sprinklers by your house nearly drench my clothes
While I'm staring at you
In my car parked directly out your window, and you
Gotta face like the beach, that’s a beautiful view
You’re drinkin' a couple of ciders
Let's watch the waves crash, let the tide in
Can we smoke a cigar while we're driving?
You kiss me and I can’t feel myself
I just hit a smith like I’m Nakel
Know I’m talking shit, I can’t skate well with my friends

[Chorus]
‘Cause when you’re talkin' to me it all feels like a dream
You got a face out a magazine that I’d read
But if you stop being mean to me I’d let you see
What my heart's like
A green light for your love

And baby won’t you just talk to me, oh-oh please?
I feel alone in the night when it’s ju-ust me
Because you’re so fuckin' pretty, girl, and I can’t breathe
Unless you kiss me
You’ll miss me when I’m gone
Oh-oh-oh oh-oh

[Verse 2]
Picture us in a pink loveseat
I found a picture of us now I’m feelin' empty
Hurtin' like I’m Charlie, just need somebody to hold
You excite me like the tunnel lights, I’m infinitely bold
Insignificant other, misunderstood, I’m under
Wearin' on my head, prolonged, I 'ma submerge
I need your lifevest, so much unrest
Smash my head into my desk
Fuck, you’re not coming back

[Chorus]
‘Cause when you’re talkin' to me it all feels like a dream
You got a face out a magazine that I’d read
But if you stop being mean to me I’d let you see
What my heart's like
A green light for your love

And baby won’t you just talk to me, oh-oh please?
I feel alone in the night when it’s ju-ust me
Because you’re so fuckin' pretty, girl, and I can’t breathe
Unless you kiss me
You’ll miss me when I’m gone
Oh-oh-oh oh-oh

[Outro]
So when I’m gone our past withers like a rose
In your arms lay a letter I wrote
But from the start, I knew better than hope
Better than hope
And when your tongue don't taste how it used to
And these songs don’t sound the same
I sigh at youth to blame
