The weather here is perfect
I’ll lay it out frame by frame
I’ll write a plea for you to visit
On a 4x6 cardstock with your name
I know you can’t see it
But the grass out here it’s greener
I’ll remember this picture
Oh how I wish you were here
The air is cool at the wrong time of year
Did you see on the bottom the red and white lines
The postman is calling you to my skyline
My return address it would really be complete
If you were right here with me
So I’ll peel the stamp and write persuasively:
I don’t really live here
But I swear it feels like home
