Off into the sunlight She needs the change in her life Saying names and not the place Where opportunities come knocking on my door Said that I let her down Trading my secrets with the birds and the bees Lecturers go deep inside of me So I was stuck to the ground
[Chorus:] She sent me a postcard of a tidal wave (East coast, West coast it's all the same) She sent me a postcard of a tidal wave (Distance shoulders all of the blame)
Signed it with her lipstick Such imagery and pain She sent me a postcard of a tidal wave
I searched myself Over from the inside out Ridding every memory of you Deleting everything I knew I drive around I know every road to your house I'm digging through your trash Gonna find your dirty past, it's all out
[Chorus]
Winter in Hawaii Is like summer time in Maine She sent me a postcard of a tidal wave
Goodbye (You're following a hurricane Sure that wouldn't feel the same) Take you time (Her tidal wave will come And sweep you off of 95) Oh yea, yea yea
[Chorus]
Signed it with her lipstick You know I'll never be the same She sent me a postcard of a tidal wave She sent me a postcard of a tidal wave
