I'm writing you a letter
'cause I can't trust that electronic mail
Could deliver my thoughts unfettered
The way the courier can
I'm sending you a photograph
Not another attached jpeg
The kind that's got to be developed
With the smudges from a human's hands
I'm walking to the post office
'cause I can't afford the gas
I'm working against the traffic
Of everyone who somehow can
Everybody's up and leaving
'cause everybody just up and can
Makes me wish for the old days
When we all just stuck to the plan
I may as well have been an astronaut
I know many who've settled for less
Been giving my first choice a second thought
But my first love is to second guess
Been breaking down slowly
Body, spirit, and mind
Perhaps I'm just lonely
Maybe I just need to unwind
That's why I'm planting you a garden
Getting dirt underneath my nails
Want you to know for certain
From just where your food prevails
And I'm writing you a love song
Never been quick enough to speak
Any words with a melody
They always just come out weak
In the snow things are brighter
When the moon's shining full above
With hot cocoa or hot cider
Or the cold hands of a warm new love
I've been breaking down quickly
It was apparent when things started making sense
I'm not healthy, I'm not sickly
I'm nothing at all at your expense
I'm just writing you a letter
I'm sending you a photgraph
