Stamps and Ink

[Intro]
[Verse]
String lights on the wall
Shadows start to crawl
Found a paper bag
With a yellow tag
Fifty cents for dreams
Or so it really seems
I’m sitting on the floor
I couldn't ask for more
[Pre-Chorus]
The rain hits the glass
Watching minutes pass
I’m tracing every line
Wishing you were mine
[Chorus]
Who were you writing to?
Under skies of blue?
Did they love you back?
Did your heart go black?
Just a ghost in ink
Makes me stop and think
In my bedroom light
On a Tuesday night
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh, stamps and ink
Ooh, ooh, on the brink
[Verse]
One says "Wish you're here"
From a distant year
Postmarked eighty-three
Sent across the sea
To a girl named June
Underneath the moon
I wonder if she stayed
Or if the memory frayed
[Pre-Chorus]
Cassette tape is slow
Where did all time go?
I’m feeling kind of small
Leaning 'gainst the wall
[Chorus]
Who were you writing to?
Under skies of blue?
Did they love you back?
Did your heart go black?
Just a ghost in ink
Makes me stop and think
In my bedroom light
On a Tuesday night
[Bridge]
Maybe I’m just lonely
If I could be your only
I’d write a thousand words
Like the songs of birds
But I’m stuck in G
Just my Casio and me
Sorting through the past
Nothing seems to last
[Verse]
I put the bag away
Save it for a day
When the sun is low
And I have to go
But for now I’ll stay
In this purple haze
Dreaming of your face
In another place
You’re a stranger’s friend
Until the very end
[Chorus]
Who were you writing to?
Under skies of blue?
Did they love you back?
Did your heart go black?
Just a ghost in ink
Makes me stop and think
In my bedroom light
On a Tuesday night
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh, stamps and ink
Ooh, ooh, on the brink
[Outro]
