Got a postcard on the ledge by the window City lights bleeding through the glass Stamp in the corner, still no address Words on the back that I can't get past Streetcar rolling, the night is thin Pen in my hand, but I can't begin Wrote your name, then I wrote it twice Held it up to the neon light Should I send it, should I keep it Half a heart in blue ink Stamp on the window ledge Waiting on the edge of a maybe Stamp on the window ledge Say it soft, say it slow, say it, baby Miles in a little square Every line says I was there Stamp on the window ledge Tonight I think I'll let it go Corner mailbox glowing down the block Little blue mouth open wide I walk it past, then I walk it back Rain on the card where the ink won't dry Told you that the city was loud Never told you I was lonely in the crowd Now the words are all I have to send Maybe that's a start, not an end Should I send it, should I keep it Half a heart in blue ink Stamp on the window ledge Waiting on the edge of a maybe Stamp on the window ledge Say it soft, say it slow, say it, baby Miles in a little square Every line says I was there Stamp on the window ledge Tonight I think I'll let it go Slide it in, hear it fall Quiet as a breath in the hall No take back, no turning round Just a small thing making sound Stamp on the window ledge Now it's on the road to you Stamp on the window ledge Say it soft, say it slow, say it true Miles in a little square Every line says I was there Stamp on the window ledge Tonight I finally let it go Let it go Let it go Window ledge, empty now Let it go
