[Verse 1]

I sent a postcard to you today from the wind ridden coast

It reads, as much as I hate it right now I'm not coming home

I could lie and say I'll try my best but I'm tired of holding hope

I still remember being too damn young and playing on the road

Then we'd sit on the worn out couch that I once cut a hole

Lord, I was so scared of dad finding out but it wasn't long till you told

[Chorus]

We were sold on thinking we had it all

If it got cold we’d bundle up for the fall

Since we've grown these days I'm twice as small

Your words were all I needed to feel like I was 10 feet tall

[Verse 2]

I know I don't say it near enough but I'm proud and hope you know

And although time has taken me far away, I'm not yet a ghost

When I look at the queen you've become well it brightens my soul

[Chorus]

We were sold on thinking we had it all

If it got cold we’d bundle up for the fall

Since we've grown these days I'm twice as small

Your words were all I needed to feel like I was 10 feet tall

Your words were all I needed to feel like I was 10 feet tall
