Postcard
Jason Webley Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This is where I am.
Where are you?

Message in a bottle or a time bomb?
It's hard to think it matters when everything is on,
A delay line three weeks long.

This is a picture I never saw.
And these are words I never said.
This is a lie I could never tell.
This is where I am, where are you?





Send me a postcard.

These objects have different meanings but both suggest that something important is being communicated.


As the song progresses, the singer talks about a picture they have never seen and words they have never said.

It is possible that the singer is talking about a secret they have been keeping or a feeling they couldn't express to the other person. The chorus of the song invites the other person to send a postcard, which creates an image of a physical connection between the two people.


Overall, "Postcard" is a song that captures the feeling of being separated from someone else, whether it is due to distance or emotional barriers. It is a call for communication and an invitation to connect despite the challenges.
