Postcard
Lil Eddie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Yeayeaaah... Yeaah...)

We thought of different ways
To relight the fire
Worked a few times before
Lil' we know
It was only half the battle
It was way more to endure
Agreed to never stop
And go the distance
Love without a heart
That flowing feeling
On an air balloon just
Ain't there between us

The sand in our hourglass has
Fell through for us
We just can't seem to forget this
Forget that touch
Like the sun in the sky
It burns deep when I look in your eyes
I can't face you and say goodbye
It's never easy

[Chorus:]

So I'll just send you a postcard
By the time you receive it
I bet I'm on your 'hate you' list
Send you a postcard
Hope you can read it
Cuz my teardrops ran and blurred the ink
Send it on a postcard
Give it a shot
My mind is sure
But my heart is not
This is so hard, to be so far
P. S. With a lipstick kiss
Send it on a postcard

So keep telling each other
It will get better
But I still feel the weight
It's heavy on my brain
Like a thousand tons of
Falling hail, it rained
The miles we went to get
Is up a twister
Now would that get it again
The wind's too strong to hold us any longer
When you told her it's over

The sand in our hourglass has
Fell through for us
We just can't seem to forget this
Forget that touch
Like the sun in the sky
It burns deep when I look in your eyes
I can't face you and say goodbye
It's never easy

[Chorus:]

So I'll just send you a postcard
By the time you receive it
I bet I'm on your 'hate you' list
Send it on a postcard
Hope you can read it
Cuz my teardrops ran and blurred the ink
Send it on a postcard
Give it a shot
My mind is sure
But my heart is not
This is so hard, to be so far
P. S. With a lipstick kiss
Send it on a postcard

[Chorus:]

I want you to know
When the plane took off
I was wishing that I had a parachute
Cuz there was one side of my head
Screaming feelings of regret
Then I saw the truth
We can start over new
You know what comes next
Where we two
We make the same you-turn
That led us both stranded here

[Chorus:]

So I'll just send you a postcard
By the time you receive it
I bet I'm on your 'hate you' list
Send it on a postcard
Hope you can read it
Cuz my teardrops ran and blurred the ink
Send it on a postcard
Give it a shot
My mind is sure
But my heart is not
This is so hard, to be so far
P. S. With a lipstick kiss
Send it on a postcard

Oh, no no no, I'll
Send it on a postcard
Yes, I know I was kinda wrong
Send it on a postcard
Send it on a postcard




Cuz I couldn't look at you
And tell you it's over, no

Overall Meaning

In Lil Eddie's song "Postcard," he sings about the complexities of breaking up with someone and the difficulty of saying goodbye in person. The first verse touches on how they have tried different ways to reignite the passion in their relationship, but it only covered half the battle. They both agreed to keep going and keep loving each other despite the lack of passion. However, Eddie acknowledges that something is missing between them, and it feels like the love has deflated like an air balloon. The sand in their hourglass has fallen through, and they can't seem to move past the touch they shared.


The chorus of the song speaks about how Eddie will send a postcard to his lover. He hopes that she will read it even though his teardrops have blurred the ink. Eddie’s mind is sure, but his heart isn't ready to break up, which is why he is sending this instead of confronting her in person. Eddie recognizes that they can start over and make the same U-turn that led them both stranded here. However, he knows that they need to have some distance between them before they can reconcile.


The song conveys the heartache of breaking up with someone you love and how it is never an easy decision. Eddie has taken on the task of sending a postcard instead of having a conversation with her, which shows how he is trying to avoid confrontation and instead deal with his emotions in his own way.
