Postcards Lyrics

Sundays sitting on your back porch
And I came up with a couple of cords
And I played for you

You let me keep you entertained
With stories I exaggerate
That you know aren't true

And as you sit there making daisy chains
And I throw in a hand granate
And tell you how it is I really feel for you

I'm sending Postcards from my heart
With love for a postmark and then
You know that you make me feel like we've been caught
Like kids in the school yard again
And I can't keep it to myself
Can't spell it any better
L.O.V.E forever
I hope you know that I'm sending a postcard
I don't care who sees what I sent
Or if the whole world knows what's in my head

We chased the sun til it got away
On a bicycle that your daddy made
But not made for two

Then we sat out on your rocking chair
You with a flower in your hair
That I found for you

But then Monday always comes around
And it's sad 'cause I can't see you now
Wan't you to know you're always in my head

I'm sending postcards from my heart
With love for a postmark and then..
You know that you make me feel like we've been caught
Like kids in the school yard again
And I can't keep it to myself
Can't spell it any better
L.O.V.E forever
I hope you know that I'm sending a postcard
I don't care who sees what I sent
Or if the whole world knows what's in my head

You know sometimes it's hard to see
You say the world that torture me
But inside I know exactly how I feel
The things that I can't say out loud
I'll find a place to write it down
I hope that they will find you in the end

I'm sending postcards from my heart
With love for a postmark and then
You know that you make me feel like we've been caught
Like kids in the school yard again
And I can't keep it to myself
Can't spell it any better
L.O.V.E forever
I hope you know that I'm sending a postcard
I don't care who sees what I sent
Or if the whole world knows what's in my head

know, know, know
All the things I want you to
know, know, know
All the things I want you to
know, know, know
All the things I want you to
know, know, know
All the things I want you to
know, know, know
All the things I want you to
know, know, know
All the things I want you to know

Postcards

This unabashed, jaunty declaration of love finds Blunt sending postcards from his heart to his lover. It is one of many songs on Moon Landing that concern matters of the heart and the record's release coincided with Blunt's relationship with Sofia Wellesley, the granddaughter of the current Duke of Wellington and a descendant of the Iron Duke himself. During an interview with the Daily Telegraph, Blunt was asked if the album is about Sofia? "I think I probably tap into lots of different things along the way," he replied. "One song might come from a mixture of different experiences. But, yes, this album is absolutely about my life where I am at the moment, rather than my life in the past."

Blunt originally wrote this ukulele-led song on the piano.
