lyrics

He's been working at the shoe shop
But he was dreaming of the big top
Met a girl made his heart stop
Bought her flowers and a soda pop


He said...
I'm working hard for the money I make
Paying double for every mistake
I got a sister but we don't relate
I'm sowing seeds for my great escape

Ah honey run away with me
No more working in the factory
I know that my car's a little beat up, girl
But you'll be living with your feet up, girl
I need to know cause I leave tonight
Are you coming or is this goodbye?

She said...
Send me a postcard
You're taking it too far
Send me a postcard
You're taking it too far

She's been hiding in the suburbs
Memorizing all the Proverbs
And now he tells her that he loves her
Could it be that it's just words?
Never a weight that he didn't drop
Never a feel that he didn't cop
She may never be a pin-up girl
But she walks with her chin up
And she'd never run away with you
You can steal the sun, you can hide the moon

Send me a postcard
You're taking it too far
Send me a postcard
You're taking it too far
I don't care who you are
Just send me a postcard
I don't care who you are
You're taking it too far

This isn't enough for me
It's not who I'm meant to be
I always wanted more
But I see a closing door
So if you're coming with me
To the promised land
If you're coming with me
Darling take my hand
Baby all I can see are the bright lights
We could be leaving at midnight
Oh! Whatcha waiting for?
I can't stay here anymore

Ah honey don't you hesitate
(No, no)
Don't leave me waiting by the garden gate
My mama told me that it's good to be patient
So I'll be waiting by the railroad station
Can't you see that I've changed my tune
I'll be your Sunday afternoon
I'm as constant as the sea
Or as much as you need me to be
And I'm never gonna ask again
Is this the start or is this the end?

She said...
Send me a postcard
You're taking it too far
Send me a postcard
You're taking it too far
I don't care who you are
Just send me a postcard
I don't care who you are
You're taking it too far

Are you coming with me when I go, when I go
Are you coming with me when I go, when I go
