Living In Your Letters lyrics - Dashboard Confessional

I'm always assuming the worst

But you're going on nonetheless

And there's nothing to cushion your heart led fall

Letters from further away

Keep pulling me close to home

And there's something to cushion my callous sighs

And 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

But 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

And 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 roads go on forever

And there'll always be a place for you in 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
