Postcards
Weatherstar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I ran outside to watch you drive away
From me
And my eyes
They won't believe
My heart is trying desperately to beat
And lately I'm speeding up my breathing
And my hands are shaking all the time
'Cause I don't wanna let you go
And I can't sleep or breathe
When I'm alone
If I could just go back in time
I wouldn't make the same mistakes
If I could just go back in time
I'm looking at what we wrote
In old postcards
And counting the times you'd repeat
Yourself and I just wanna hold you
You know I just can't let you go
I just can't let you go
'Cause I don't wanna let you go
And I can't sleep or breathe
When I'm alone
If I could just go back in time
I wouldn't make the same mistakes
If I could just go back in time (x4)
I wouldn't make the same mistakes
If I could just go back in time
The lyrics to Weatherstar's song "Postcards" are a heart-wrenching reflection on the pain of lost love and the desire to turn back time and correct past mistakes. The opening lines describe a moment of separation, as the singer watches their love drive away, leaving them alone with their thoughts and regrets. The chorus expresses the feelings of desperation and longing, with the repetition of the refrain "I don't wanna let you go" and the admission that the singer can't sleep or breathe without their love.
The verses also reveal physical symptoms of the singer's emotional turmoil, with references to speeding up breathing and shaking hands. The second verse shifts focus to old postcards and memories of happier times, which only serve to accentuate the pain of the present. The repeated plea to go back in time and avoid making the same mistakes speaks to the universal human desire for a second chance, a chance to do things differently and perhaps avoid the heartbreak of lost love.
Overall, the lyrics of "Postcards" are a poignant and relatable portrayal of the pain of lost love and the power of regret. The song is likely to resonate with anyone who has experienced the sting of a failed relationship or has ever wished for a chance to go back and do things differently.

I has been 8 years since I've been to this video. I've been on an old music binge lately and WeatherStar is my current stop. A lot of memories flood back. Nostalgia is so bittersweet sometimes.
