Postcard
John Waite/The Babys Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You live your life in a different place
So many miles in between us
Give anything just to see your face
When you come home I'll be waiting
Imagination's gonna pull me through
Yeah yeah
I will send you
In a postcard
All my love
I spend my time thinkin' of you
My nights and days turned into grey
I can't hold moments together
Winterç®#130# come since you've been away
My heart is yours now forever
I feel my love must be a part of you
Yeah yeah
I will send you
All my love
In a postcard
All my love
I realize why I miss you
It seems so strange everything's unchanged
I feel I'm caught in a silence
I feel my life has been rearranged
When you come home I'll be waiting
When you left you took my heart with you
Yeah Yeah
I will send you
All my love
In a postcard
All my love
