Lyrics: Jaehun Cho
Music: Jaehun Cho
You left her hands inside her coat
Like she lived there all alone
The corner store was closing slow
The radio kept singing wrong
I wrote your name on paper twice
Then folded it in midnight blue
Like if I kept it in my pocket
It might survive the walk to you
I know the brave ones talk too soon
I know the cowards miss their chance
So meet me somewhere in between
Half a step and one last glance
Don't make me a postcard
Don't make me a line I never sent
Stay in the streetlight
Stay where the shaking in my chest went
Don't fade to a story
Don't turn to a spring I almost knew
Don't make me a postcard
I came here tonight to hand you the truth
You laughed and brushed your hair behind
The way the summer used to do
And every traffic light went green
Like even the city wanted you
I had a hundred polished words
They all collapsed beneath your eyes
So I just said the small thing
Can I walk slow by your side?
The night was thin, the air was warm
The buses threw their yellow lights
And all the things I couldn't say
Were leaning forward in the silence
Don't make me a postcard
Don't make me a line I never sent
Stay in the streetlight
Stay where the shaking in my chest went
Don't fade to a story
Don't turn to a spring I almost knew
Don't make me a postcard
I came here tonight to hand you the truth
Maybe one day this will sound
Like a song we almost knew
But I don't want the pretty ache
I want the living you right here
Right now, before the night turns blue
Don't make me a postcard
Don't make a dream with nowhere to land
Stay for a minute
Stay till the fear lets go of my hand
Oh oh oh
Don't fade to a story
Don't turn into a name that the seasons move through
Don't make me a postcard
I came here tonight
I came here tonight to finally get to you
The store went dark, the streets stayed gold
You took the paper from my hand
And for a moment all my small became enough to stand
