lyrics

Postcards on the fridge from all the places you've been
Stories on the back of all the things that you've seen
I'm not really sure why I keep them all
Paradise lost I guess everyone falls

A year to the day since you left this place
The first card came all the way from Calais
I spent hours in the library mapping the world
It all seemed so big to this small town girl

San Pedro, you were only there for a week
Throwing pennies in fountains, seeing ghosts in your sleep
The church in the courtyard stood so true and tall
Till the earth started shaking and you watched it fall

Now the cards have been coming for so many years
It's like they meld into one with all my hopes and my fears
Will I ever leave this town that I hate
Am I destined forever to relive my mistakes

I can't shake that card with the church on the hill
It all seemed so perfect all is grist for the mill
The words on the back broke my damn heart
It wasn’t the first time you ever tore me apart

San Pedro, you were only there for a week
Stealing pennies from fountains, seeing ghosts in your sleep
The church in the courtyard stood so true and tall
Till the earth started shaking and you watched it fall

Now I'm sitting here reading the last card that came
The ink is all smudged and the writing seems strained
“I’ll always love you don’t ever give in”
Postmarked and stamped San Quentin, Marin
