Living in Your Letters

I'm always assuming the worst

But you're going on nonetheless

And there's nothing to cushion your heart

Let it fall

Letters from further away

Keep pulling me close to home

And there's something to cushion my callus size

And I know that you hope for

Long, good goodbyes

Embracing for forever

And falling in your eyes, in your eyes, your eyes

Pouring over photographs

I'm living in your letters

Breathe deeply from this envelope

It smells like you

And I can't be

Without that scent

It's filling me with

All you mean to me

To me

Continually failing these trials

But you stand by me nonetheless

And you won't let me sink

Though I'm begging you, I'm begging you

Phone calls from further away

And messages on my machine

But I don't ever tell you this distance seems terrible

And there's no need to test my heart

With useless space

These rows go on forever

There'll always be a place

For you

In my heart

So I'll hit the pavement

It's gotta be better

Than waiting

And pushing you far away

'Cause I'm scared

So I'll take my chances

And head on my way

Up there

'Cause turning to you

Is like falling in love when you're ten
