Lyrics
This is a postcard, I broke my heart
Then I blamed him, framed him for the crime
But I was claiming that I was fine
Look, we be both lied when we said we were alright
But it's all good, all good times
So, I left and met a better me
Saw a brand-new world and I felt free
No, I can't believe I meant it, yeah
Pushed me off the edge of heaven
It's just a long way home, I'm hanging up the telephone
All I know is waking up
And how to fall out of love in the West Texas dust
With the mechanical horses and their bobbing heads
Nodding again and again, as if something was said
So, I left and became walking next overdressed
In overseas clothes I just bought, I'm closed off, but
I'm open to good thoughts, then overthink that
But why'd he kiss me goodbye, but won't call since I got back?
No, I didn't mean what I said
When I told him that I didn't wanna be his friend
It's just a long way home
And being around makes me feel so alone
No, I can't believe I meant it, yeah
Pushed me off the edge of heaven
It's just a long way home, I'm hanging up the telephone
