"Postcard #17" lyrics
"Postcard #17"
What am I so scared of?
What's the worst that could happen?
Been awake all night
Heard the rain tapping
If something taps on the window
In the middle of the night
Just let it in, alright
Just let it in, alright
I couldn't even write about it in my diary
Or shape the sound of the words
So I tried sneaking up behind it
Like the lion sneaks up on the herd
If I just put this pen to this paper
If I just change the labels on the salt and pepper shaker
If I just trick myself into pouring it all out
Just let it all out, alright
Just let it all out
If you just say its name
Three times in front of the mirror
Its pale face will appear
Grinning in the corner
And you turn around
And you study its particulars
You say: "Is that what I was scared of?"
Fucking ridiculous
It's fucking ridiculous
It's all in your head
It's all in your head
It's all in your head
It's all in your head
It's all in your head
It's all in your head
It's all in your head
It's all in your head

Angel Olsen - "Never Be Mine" Coming from an endless place
Heaven hits me when I see your face
I go blind, every time
Hate to have to watch you go
Thought I'd been through this
Lord knows, I've been trying, I'm still trying...
Perfume Genius - "Slip Away" Don't hold back, I want to break free
Cause it's singing through your body
And I'm carried by the sound
Every drum, every single beat
They were born from your body
And I'm carried by the sound
Oh,...
Shout Out Louds - "Paola" If you ask me we'll go all the way
Set fire to the school we once went to, you and I
And some might say that we threw our lives away
But Paola, they're all just lies
Cruel and dark like the shadows...
Stars - "Real Thing" Louder than the rest
You push your way through the crowd
You want your piece of the world
And you need the girl
The story's still untold
How will the hero unfold?
Dreams you can fly
It isn't real...
Rostam - "Bike Dream" You wake up late, you feel your heart begin to work
And now you're all dressed up of course
And hailing cabs out of your door
On 14th Street I feel my head between my knees
And orange swimming...
