Postcard
Nic Koray & Band Lyrics

I remember when my heart caught the fever
I recall the moment when I became infatuated and excited with love

You were standing all alone in the summer heat
I saw you standing by yourself, unaffected by the scorching summer weather

I was with my boyfriend, new boyfriend
At that time, I was in a relationship with my current boyfriend

He was as sweet as he could be
My boyfriend was kind and affectionate

One look at you and I was through
Just a single glance at you and my emotions turned upside down

My heart switched up on me
Suddenly, my heart betrayed me and changed its loyalty

Like a postcard from Paris
Similar to receiving a picturesque message from the city of Paris

When I've seen the real thing
But upon experiencing the genuine reality

It's like finding out your diamond
It feels like discovering that the precious jewel you possess

Was from her old promise ring
Actually originated from someone else's previous commitment

Coming back from your fortune teller
Returning from a visit to a clairvoyant

She read your cards upside down
She misinterpreted the meaning of the tarot cards by flipping them in an incorrect direction

The meanest thing you ever did is come around
The cruelest action you performed was reappearing in my life

And now I'm ruined
As a result, I am emotionally devastated

In the evening you can catch me daydreaming
During the evening hours, you can find me lost in my fantasies

Did that moment send you reeling just like me
Did that moment cause you to be overwhelmed and disoriented, just as it affected me

I should've gone over, right over
I should have approached you directly, without hesitation

I should've never let you leave
I should not have allowed you to walk away from me

But it's the never knowing that keeps this going
However, the uncertainty is what fuels my continued obsession

And drives me crazy
And causes me to lose my sanity

Just when I thought things were alright
Just as I believed that everything was going well

My eyes played tricks on my mind
My vision deceived and misled my thoughts

Will I ever be satisfied
Will I ever experience contentment

'Cause all I ever seem to find
Because all I ever seem to discover

Is a postcard from Paris
Are mere representations of beauty instead of genuine experiences

When I need the real thing
At times when I yearn for authenticity

It's like finding out your diamond
It feels similar to realizing that the prized jewel you possess

Is from an old promise ring
Originates from a long-forgotten commitment

Come back from your fortune teller
Return from consulting a fortune teller

She read your cards upside down
She misinterpreted the meaning of your tarot cards by inverting their orientation

The meanest thing you ever did
The cruelest action you ever took

The cruelest thing you ever did
The most heartless thing you ever did

The meanest thing you ever did is come around
The cruelest action you ever took was reappearing in my life

I am ruined
I am emotionally devastated

I'm ruined
I am emotionally shattered

I am ruined, yeah
I am completely destroyed in every aspect

I am ruined, yeah
I am completely devastated, indeed
