about

What we did before the internet

lyrics

Airmail

I received her letter
this is my reply
though I never had the language
couldn't tell you why

a soldier’s life for me
its who I'm born to be
I'm my father’s son
If I am anyone

and
the paper is so thin
you can almost see what's within
read between the lines of airmail

a mother always tells you
what you already know
some how it makes you smile
she's the one who watched you grow
I say I miss our afternoons
I mean I miss our love
words won't work for me
they're never quite enough

and
the paper is so thin
you can almost see what's within
and
read between the lines of airmail

high above the clouds
no one really knows

but I'm never coming home
no I'm never coming home
and though I'll never tell her
somehow I think she knows

and
the paper is so thin
you can almost see what's within
and
read between the lines of airmail

high above the clouds
no one really knows
airmail
