monument valley - dear john letters lyrics

Loading...

we wrote our dear john letters
in the same pen

before the ink had dried
they were already stamped and sent

yours to west berlin and mine to kent
and they sat side by side until they went

your sunday school script was packed in tight
carefeul and considered
in the faultering bathroom light

mine in the spidery hand, in which i still write
i thought of every line as a fuse ready to light

they came back broken, they came back bent
and expected us to be what they thought they left

and though we weren’t quite whole
turned out we were all each other
needed to grow old

the thick skin on my back grew hard to cut
i’m sure the words were sharp buy they never stuck

we sat back pretty easy and we watched the decades bend
home, bus stop, shop, bus stop and home again

they came back broken, they came back bent
and expected us to be what they thought they left

and though we weren’t quite whole
turned out we were all each other
needed to grow old

now my stiff limbs jerk across the station concourse
like a wind up toy forced to walk

and you’ve been dead six years now
but sometimes it feels like more
and i am old, i am old

you’ve been dead six years now
but sometimes it feels like more
and i am old, i am old
