about
The final song on this debut EP, 'A Love Song (From Your Letters)' is an attempted love song despite the fact it is full of irony as, what is love really?
lyrics
I'm at a payphone now
I got a letter from you this morning
Written on the back of an old postcard
The words had all been smudged
Cause you were left handed
And you wrote with that inky pen I hated
Cause I am too
My eyes they overflowed
Reading the words you wrote me
Sincere, just like the last
Of how you wanted to go
And leave it all behind you
But then, you changed your mind
So darling please
Stand by me
If I fall
And keep my grip
Caught between your lips
And the words you call
Teach me how to write a love song
Cause I've always wanted to feel
When people listen along
They think what I write is real
As I stand in that little red box
I can hardly wrap my thoughts
Over your stark suggestions
You're far more rounded than I'll ever be
Ever time you speak of poetry
I just turn back and smile
I swear to go it makes me sick
Every time the thoughts leave your lips
Ignorance is truly bliss
Send me home now so I can see
The person clearly falling here is me
Different than I used to be
So darling please
Stand by me
If I fall
And keep my grip
Caught between your lips
And the words you call
Teach me how to write a love song
Cause I've always wanted to feel
When people listen along
They think what I write is real
I got a letter from you this morning
Written on the back of an old postcard
The words had all been smudged
Cause you were left handed
And you wrote with that inky pen I hated
Cause I am too
My eyes they overflowed
Reading the words you wrote me
Sincere, just like the last
Of how you wanted to go
And leave it all behind you
But then, you changed your mind
So darling please
Stand by me
If I fall
And keep my grip
Caught between your lips
And the words you call
Teach me how to write a love song
Cause I've always wanted to feel
When people listen along
They think what I write is real
As I stand in that little red box
I can hardly wrap my thoughts
Over your stark suggestions
You're far more rounded than I'll ever be
Ever time you speak of poetry
I just turn back and smile
I swear to go it makes me sick
Every time the thoughts leave your lips
Ignorance is truly bliss
Send me home now so I can see
The person clearly falling here is me
Different than I used to be
So darling please
Stand by me
If I fall
And keep my grip
Caught between your lips
And the words you call
Teach me how to write a love song
Cause I've always wanted to feel
When people listen along
They think what I write is real
