Living in Your Letters
by Dashboard Confessional



Always assuming the worst
But going on nonetheless
And there's nothing to cushion your heart
Let it fall

Letters from further away
You're pulling me close to home
Need something to cushion my callous sides

I know that you hope for longer good byes
Embracing for forever
And falling in your eyes
In your eyes
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
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
Messages on my machine
But I don't ever tell you this distance
Seems terrible

There's no need to test my heart
With useless space
These rows go on forever
There'll always be a place
For you
My heart

So I'll hit the pavement
It's gotta be better
Than waiting
And pushing you
Far away
Cause I'm scared
So 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

Just Fits So Well

When I'm back from the road then you're out on it
And I'm tired of this distance
And I believe it's over
It's over...rated
And this phone tag game is endless
And the novelty is wearing
I'm hoping time will pass
Without any assistance or convincing

Road rules apply
There's so much action
You're getting busy

So I'll call your
Cellular phone
To tell you TV night
Was lonely without you
And so am I
So am I

It seems our day keeps falling on a leap year

So many high points on this last leg
I can't wait to recount them
It seems like nothing's happened
Until I've shared them
With you

That note that you had called
Says you're half a day away
And you are heading home
Just in time for me
For me...to leave

And road rules apply
There's so much action
I'm getting busy

So make sure that I'm up to date on TV night
I hate to miss out

I think I miss you most
On Wednesdays and Saturdays
Seems our day keeps falling on a leap year
