Static on the Stamps

[Intro]
[Verse]
Found a yellow page
Inside a thrifted book
Written in a different age
I took a second look
Nineteen eighty-seven
Postmarked from a cloudy heaven
A girl named June
Whistling a forgotten tune
[Pre-Chorus]
The fridge is humming low
The clock is moving slow
I grabbed a purple pen
And wrote to her back then
[Chorus]
Snail mail time machine
Living in the space between
Thirty-seven years of dust
Trading secrets, trading trust
Are you waking up?
Tea inside a chipped cup
[Post-Chorus]
Static on the stamps
Glowing bedroom lamps
Yesterday is today
Don't let the ink fade away
[Verse]
Woke up Tuesday morning
Without a single warning
A blue envelope appeared
Just like I had feared
She said the radio is loud
Watching every passing cloud
She likes her hair in bows
Painting all her ten toes
[Pre-Chorus]
The Casio starts to beep
I’m falling fast and deep
Into a paper dream
Ripping at the temporal seam
[Chorus]
Snail mail time machine
Living in the space between
Thirty-seven years of dust
Trading secrets, trading trust
Are you waking up?
Tea inside a chipped cup
[Bridge]
Your posters are all vintage
My world is just a wreckage
But we both hate the rain
And the rattling window pane
You’re seventeen forever
I’m clever, but not that clever
Just two girls in a room
Chasing away the gloom
[Verse]
She asked about the future
I told her it’s a suture
Holding back the digital tide
With nowhere left to hide
I described my heavy phone
She said she felt alone
We swapped our favorite snacks
Across the cosmic tracks
[Chorus]
Snail mail time machine
Living in the space between
Thirty-seven years of dust
Trading secrets, trading trust
Are you waking up?
Tea inside a chipped cup
[Post-Chorus]
Static on the stamps
Glowing bedroom lamps
Yesterday is today
Don't let the ink fade away
No, don't let it fade
In the mess we made
[Outro]
