Postcard

Ink so permanent
Yeah it’s so permanent
Any way I mark it down
Either way you go
Faint and numb
You keep my head unsteady and my hands shake
Fought another day, and now
You wait until I’m standing in your landscape
Said we’re looking at the stars
We’re floating into empty spaces, I know
That we’re looking at the stars
Our burning open sky illustrated, no more
Five lines written on a postcard
Five lines and then it’s over
Five lines sitting on your dresser for you
Either way you go
It’s so permanent
Yeah it’s so permanent
Any way I tell it to you
Either way you go
Faint and numb
You keep my head unsteady and my hands shake
Fought another day, and now
You wait until I’m standing in your landscape
Said we’re looking at the stars
We’re floating into empty spaces, I know
That we’re looking at the stars
Our burning open sky illustrated, no more
Said we’re looking at the stars
Connected by our constellation, I know
That we’re looking at the stars
Our bodies lie in separate places, reposed
Five lines written on a postcard
Five lines I’m a little closer
Five lines written on a postcard for you
Either way you go
