Dashboard Confessional Lyrics
"Living In Your Letters"

Always assuming the worst,
But you're going on none the less,
And there's nothing to cushion your heart led fall.
Letters from further away,
Keep pulling me close to home,
And there's something to soften 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 nonetheless.
And you won't let me sink,
Though I'm begging you.
I'm begging you.
Phone calls from further away,
And messages on my machine,
But I don't ever tell you this distance,
Seems terrible.

And there's 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.
Then 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.
