It starts with a heart and a hand on the shoulder
Ends without warning the lines just get colder
The patches wear thin the gimmicks get older
I told her, I told her, I told her
Well first we fall and then we fall faster
It`s hard to learn but it`s harder to master
It`s hard not to break
When you`re made out of plaster
I asked her, I asked her, I asked her, I asked her
She said it`s no use
Your friends will all snow you
The policeman will throw you in jail
The postman is reading
The postman is reading my mail
A steady remind crawls up from the tide
It`s a safe in a box with a rock locked inside
How can I laugh when I know that you lied
I cried, I cried
Well daddy you left my tears on your shirt
Your mind on yourself
Your eyes on a skirt
I lay down and trace my name in the dirt
It hurt you know it hurt
Wherever I`m headed I will not forget it
The tracker is tight on my tail
The postman is reading
The postman is reading my mail
The years disappear my nightmares repeated
Losing again I thought I could beat it
I`ll write you love songs whenever you need it
I pleaded, I pleaded, I pleaded
She said it`s no use there ain`t nothin` for it
You can`t forget it babe but I can`t ignore it
A love lost letter unopened I tore it
I swore it, I swore it, and swore it
It can`t be defended, the world`s been upended
The son of a bondsman skipped bail
The postman is reading
The postman is reading my mail
