Postcards From Downtown

I lost all my faith in love On those stairs that November I know it meant a lot at the time Now I can barely remember It's been a long time It's been a long time You said I've been alone so long That I've got big theories of lonely And that I drag them all over town Just to look occupied But I'm learning something I'm doing time Red light, green light, one, two, three Have you come to conquer me It's been a long time Hey I know how to take in all kinds Of heartless offers And I've learned how to hand back a few And I've come as close to love As to walking on water So what could I do with you What will I do with you I'm going out now I'll send you some Postcards from downtown I'll show you all the apartments Where I got my degrees Where I'd fall like small dreams Where I'd fade like bright leaves
