[ Featuring Polyester ]
When I was four I learned life wasn't easy
The bed was stained with my own pee
When I was five I was afraid of nearly everything
On the playground I observed girls on the swings
In third grade I learned how to write in cursive
In fourth grade I called my friend a curse word
In middle school I got my first love letter
I didn't respond, I couldn't find the right words
And one day I will be there with you
And one day you will be here with me
In the meantime, I've got your postcard
And you've got this song
When I was 16 my body was a piece of work
I was awkward, I apologize for being a jerk
In high school I was afraid responsibilities
In my 20s I packed up and moved out of the city
I got married, divorced, it ran it's course
I went to school and now I'm paying for every source
In my 30s I now know what love can be
It starts with you and ends with K-I-S-S-I-N-G
And one day I will be there with you
And one day you will be here with me
In the meantime, I've got your postcard
And you've got this song
