He fell in love with a postcard
It made him cry in the backyard, he read it by the hedges
And he ran his fingers along the soft edges
The words were smudged and she technically lied
But someone somewhere else cared if he lived or died
That lit him up inside
She said, "I wish you were here and you will be next time"
I've faced all my fears and love is all I need
But by the time the letter was sent
She realized that she hadn't meant it at all
She was too afraid to call
She came to work on a short term visa
She never meant to leave with her heart in pieces
Pieces
She dreamed of living alone and to travel
But she's so far from home and she kinda unraveled
All the while learned the dangers of an American smile
She said, "I wish you were here and you will be next time"
I've faced all my fears and love is all I need
But by the time the letter was sent
She realized that she hadn't meant it at all
She was too afraid to call
She said, "I wish you were here and you will be next time"
She said, "I've faced all my fears and love is all I need'
For him it was fall
And for her it was spring when she said not to call
Don't give me a ring
No ring
For a moment of peace in a season of pain
They both felt the love
They could never explain
For one last time they could never explain
She said, "I wish you were here and you will be next time"
She said, "I've faced all my fears and love is all I need"
She said, "I wish you were here and you will be next time"
I've faced all my fears and love is all I need
I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love
