Postcards
James Blunt/Musicfire.in Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I came up with a couple of cords
And I played for you
You let me keep you entertained
With stories I exaggerate
That you know aren't true
And I throw in a hand granate
And tell you how it is I really feel for you
I'm sending postcards from my heart
With love for a postmark and then
You know that you make me feel like we've been caught
Like kids in the school yard 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 sent
Or if the whole world knows what's in my head
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
Wan't you to know you're always in my head
I'm sending postcards from my heart
With love for a postmark and then..
You know that you make me feel like we've been caught
Like kids in the school yard 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 sent
Or if the whole world knows what's in my head
You know sometimes it's hard to see
You say the world 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
I'm sending postcards from my heart
With love for a postmark and then
You know that you make me feel like we've been caught
Like kids in the school yard 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 sent
Or if the whole world knows what's in my head
know, know, know
All the things I want you to
know, know, know
All the things I want you to
know, know, know
All the things I want you to
know, know, know
All the things I want you to
know, know, know
All the things I want you to
know, know, know
All the things I want you to know

Line by Line Meaning
Sundays sitting on your back porch
Relaxing on lazy Sundays with you
And I came up with a couple of chords
Playing some melodies for you
And I played for you
Entertaining you with music
You let me keep you entertained
You enjoy my stories and performances
With stories I exaggerate
I tell you exaggerated tales
That you know aren't true
You understand I'm just being playful
And as you sit there making daisy chains
Watching you create daisy chains
And I throw in a hand grenade
Adding some unexpected twists to the story
And tell you how it is I really feel for you
Confessing my true feelings for you
I'm sending postcards from my heart
Expressing my love through postcards
With love for a postmark and then
Sending my love in every postmark
You know that you make me feel like we've been caught
Feeling like kids caught in the schoolyard again with you
Like kids in the school yard again
Revisiting youthful moments with you
And I can't keep it to myself
I can't hold my feelings back
Can't spell it any better
I can't express it in any better way
L.O.V.E forever
My love for you is forever
I hope you know that I'm sending a postcard
Hope you realize I'm expressing my love for you
I don't care who sees what I sent
I'm not worried about others seeing my love for you
Or if the whole world knows what's in my head
I don't mind the world knowing how I feel about you
We chased the sun til it got away
We enjoyed chasing the sunset together
On a bicycle that your daddy made
Riding a bike that your dad crafted
But not made for two
The bike wasn't meant for two people
Then we sat out on your rocking chair
Relaxed on your chair outside
You with a flower in your hair
Adorned with a flower on your hair
That I found for you
I got that flower for you
But then Monday always comes around
The sad realization of returning to work on Mondays
And it's sad 'cause I can't see you now
Feeling sad because I can't be with you
Wan't you to know you're always in my head
Want you to know you're always on my mind
You say the world that torture me
You see the world that's causing me pain
But inside I know exactly how I feel
Despite the external struggles, I'm sure about my feelings
The things that I can't say out loud
Things I can't verbalize
I'll find a place to write it down
I'll write those things down somewhere
I hope that they will find you in the end
I hope those words will reach you eventually
know, know, know
Emphasizing the importance of understanding
All the things I want you to
Things I wish you knew
