Postcards

(album: Shadows And Shinings - 2021)

The first day I got see that face
Up in the hospital, uncontrollable
Avalanche of tears rolling out my eyes
Inconsolably happy telling your mum I'm fine (I'm fine)
Just another summer night for most, December four
Best day of my life and I slept on a concrete floor
Oh how I adore you, my little blue eyes, before you, my blue eyes
Though it was more important always soaring to new heights
Like Dubai sky scrappers, you arrived and I stopped
Now Lego is the only building blocks when hanging out
With you gorgeous, no more flipping coins and wishing
Into a fountain, it's real love, listening to Dance Monkey
Thousands of times up on repeat
Anything to see your smile, my love
It's your mouth open when you're sleeping, energy when you greet me
Another day hoping that the wheels up on the bus might fall off
But if you want me to sing it, I'll sing it
'Cause the world was made better
When the stork brought you, my love

You arrived like a postcard
Surprised when you showed up
And when you did, it was all love
And you were never scared to show that
I truly feel at home when
I'm either by myself or with you

My love, always the first to ever hear the birds sing
With love I guess I never felt deserving
It ain't the first or the last thing I will learn from you
Just to show you I am worthy, I'm determined to
And I can show you how to navigate this world of yours
And if you fall, help you back up on the rocking horse
And there's gonna be times that are tough
But they're teaching you to listen with your heart, my love

You arrived like a postcard
Surprised when you showed up
And when you did, it was all love
And you were never scared to show that
I truly feel at home when
I'm either by myself or with you

And I like space, alone is great, but I'm better with you
Feel displaced, wanna run away, but I'm better with you
Still feel pain, self medicate, but I'm better with you
(Better, better, better) yeah, I'm better with you

Yeah I'm better with you, you
Better with you
Yeah I'm better with you, you
