The pleading fire in your soul
In your vague touch I feel so much
Fervor to let hardships go
I have good ears; I clearly hear
The lament within your laugh
It appears to me you can't see
I loathe to deter you back.
SEND ME A POSTCARD
PRETEND THAT YOU CARE
LIE TO ME, TELL ME THAT YOU'RE MISERABLE
BECAUSE I'M NOT THERE
WRITE ME A LETTER
INSCRIBED FROM YOUR FRIEND
THEN WE BOTH CAN SAY THAT IT DIDN'T END.
This bitter taste, routine embrace
Transmit shivers through my spine
I don't know why I even try
Oil and water won't combine
Your feet are hot, mine are not
I've no urge to just jump in
I won't regret, but don't forget
I continue still human.
[chorus]
I never wanted it to turn out this way
It would be selfish if I asked you to stay
We suffocate each other by distributing blame
Maybe some distance will rekindle the flame
Shan't allow myself to injure your being
We may not be soulmates but your words still have meaning.
[chorus]
SEND ME A POSTCARD
THEN WE BOTH CAN SAY THAT IT DIDN'T END.
