Living In Your Letters Lyrics
I'm always assuming the worst
But your going on nonetheless
And there's nothing to cushion your heart
Led full
Letters from further away
You're 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
And there's no need to test my heart
With useless space
These roads go on forever
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 10
But your going on nonetheless
And there's nothing to cushion your heart
Led full
Letters from further away
You're 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)
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..
But you stand by me nonetheless
And you won't let me sink
Though I'm begging you (I'm begging you)
And messages on my machine
But I don't ever tell you this distance seems terrible
With useless space
These roads go on forever
There'll always be a place
For you
In my heart
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 10

who the hell made the title "broken hearts and concrete floors" (catchy title nonetheless), it's the wrong title, some people are stupid
This song has a lot of meaning for me. My ex boyfriend (boyfriend at the time) got sent away and writing and phone calls were our only ways of communication. This song meant everything to me back then.
yes it came from kazaa great song anyways
I love the way he sings the line " it's filling me with all you mean to me." the emotion in it is just beautiful, and without his voice, the song just wouldn't be the same.
I found this song very releatable like funkadelic101 said...I know i can relate to it. It's awesome how he states he's not going to give up, cause that person means to much to him!
I love this song sooo much!!! reminds me of all the people i left back home now im in another country..... Dashboard rulezz!!!
I love all DC's songs, Chris puts so much meaning into them. its Beautiful definately a favorite...
I love Dashboard, this was one of the first songs I ever heard, after Hands Down. The line "These roads go on forever, there'll always be a place for you in my heart" gets me everytime. Chris has a way of singing the song that no other person could, he's incredible. The lyrics tear you apart, they're so full of emotion, not just in this one but all of D/C's songs. Long distance relationships are so hard, this song represents that, you need all you can to remind yourself of the person that you fell in love with - "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." Totally incredible. Dashboard are so unknown here in Ireland, it's such a waste of a awesome band.
I changed my mind... this song rocks!!!
this makes me miss my true love. because i'm living in his letters, words, and phrases, and that's all i have until two years from now when we can be together. but it's worth the waiting.
and i think this song is saying how i feel. it's WORTH it.
