Postcards From Downtown - My Brightest Diamond

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

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

A long time

It’s been a

A long time

Yeah, I know how to take in all kinds of heartless offers

Yeah, I’ve learned how to hand back a few

Still I’m as close to love as to walking on water

So what can I do with you

What will I do

With you

I’m going out now I’ll

Send you some postcards from downtown

Show you all the apartments

Where I got my degrees

Where I’d fall like small dreams

Where I’d fade like bright leaves

Red light

Green light

One, two, three

Have you come to conquer me

It’s been a

A long time

It’s been a

A long time
