lyrics

He fell in love with a postcard
It made him cry in the backyard
He read it in the hedges
And he rand his fingers the soft edges
The words were smudged And she technically lied
But someone somewhere else Cared if he lived or died
That lit him up inside

She said
I wish
You were here
And you will be next time
I’ve faced all my fears your love
Is all I need!

But by the time the letter was sent
She realized
She hadn’t meant
It at all
She was too afraid to call 


She came to the states on a short term visa
She didn’t mean to leave with her heart in pieces

She dreamed of living alone and to travel
But she's so far from home and she kinda unravelled

All the while learned the dangers
Of an American smile

She said
I wish
You were here
And you will be next time
I’ve faced all my fears your love
Is all I need!

But by the time the letter was sent
She realized
She hadn’t meant
It at all
She was too afraid to call 


For him It was Fall
For her it was Spring
When she said not to call
Don’t give me a ring
But for a moment of peace in a season of pain
They both felt the love they could never explain
For one last time
They could never explain
 


She said
I wish
You were here
And you will be next time
I’ve faced all my fears your love
Is all I need!

She said
I wish
You were here
And you will be next time
I’ve faced all my fears your love
Is all I need!
