Lyrics Living in Your Letters - Dashboard Confessional

Living in Your Letters

I’m always assuming the worst,
but you’re going on none the less
and there’s nothing to cusion your heart led fall.
Letters from further away
keep pulling me close to home.
And there’s something to cushion my callous sighs.
And I know that you hope for
longer good-byes
embracing for forever
and falling in your eyes, in your eyes, in your eyes
Pouring over photographs.
I’m living in your letters.
Breathe deeply from this envelope
it smells like you and I can’t be without that scent.
It’s filling me with all you mean to me, to me Continually failing these trials
but you stand by me none the less
And you won’t let me sink
though I’m beggin you.
Phone calls from further away
and messages on my machine,
but I don’t ever tell you this distance
seems terrible.
There is no need to test my heart,
with useless space.
These roads go on forever
there’ll always be a place for you in my heart.
So I’ll hit the pavement
it’s gotta be better than waiting
and pushing you far away
cause I’m scared.
So I’ll take my chances
and head on my way up there.
Cause turning to you is like falling in love when you’re ten.
