This song was originally written as a ballad. We tried it once at twice the speed and loved it, and that ended up being the version we decided to put on the album.
lyrics
Simple times they were and lows and the highs couldn’t matter less
And daylights in the courtyard, making our way into the July nights
And moonlight falling down, and lighting up your face and every time you spoke
And the night I tried to tell you, just how that I lost myself inside all this
And I wanna go back now, and I wanna see you again somehow
Cuz' it’s a postcard love we had, and it’s a postcard love we found
It’s the brightest part of our two lives, in these crazy times
And it’s a postcard love we had, and it’s a postcard love we found
It’s the brightest part of our two lives, in these crazy times
And as the summer drew to a close we were chasing the sunlight every chance we had
We were singing all our favorite songs, making our way into the morning’s light
And shutting off our worries, and tossing the world away for a little while
And when I thought we'd lost it, there you were again with all your Postcard Love
And I wanna go back now, and I wanna see you again somehow
Cuz' it’s a postcard love we had, and it’s a postcard love we found
It’s the brightest part of our two lives, in these crazy times
And it’s a postcard love we had, and it’s a postcard love we found
It’s the brightest part of our two lives, in these crazy times
