Come This Far Lyrics

This pale mucha postcard brings back orange carpet
We called roaches butterflies and ate our pies at Birchwood Saloon
Off the only road that leaves the state, I would sing and pass the plate
They all knew me by my face and my fathers name
Heavy letter underneath my door, stark reminder when I had before
Its hard to believe Ive come this far
Heavy letter in the dresser drawer tore it open like a candy bar
Its hard to believe Ive come this far
Bright red hot rod hardtop off to town for Mooses Tooth
You comin with? To the parkin lot?
If not, you know my windows never locked
Drew leaned in and said it but his heart wouldnt let it
Thats all right, Ill be my husbands wife
Heavy letter makes a perfect mark on the page and in the heart
Its hard to believe Ive come this far
Heavy letter in the dresser drawer tore it open like a candy bar
Its hard to believe Ive come this far
Nervous tearing through the sky, grieving every inch I gain
Counting pools and freeways, I will sing and pass the plate
They will know me by my face and my fathers name
Heavy letter in the dresser drawer tore it open like a candy bar
Its hard to believe Ive come this far
Heavy letter headed for your shore, a premonition of whats in store
Its hard to believe weve come this far
