Loose Leaf Love Letter - Fairfax, Ak

Loose Leaf Love Letter Lyrics

He liked to taste the seasons
So he moved to where it smelled like winter
Unfamiliar faces in familiar seeming places
Or maybe that was just the smell of the carpetOr maybe it was the cardboard smell on his hands
From the packages of ex-lovers
He had been receivingShe used to write poetry
From what she thought was a simpler time
And the verses would swim in his headAnd every goddamn folk song
Would remind him of her
And every cliche movie line
Would remind him of a timeRummaging through a box of mementos
He listed on the back of a loose leaf love letter
The things he wanted, and the things he wants
And the things he should and should not doFind that bottle of wine she gave me and drink it
Let the memories stain my vision
As bad as merlot stains my teethThrow that box of letters off a bridge somewhere
And find some new songs to listen toAnd find some new legs to stand on
Lord knows you're gonna do it again

And finally forgive yourself
Who the hell's gonna do that now?
