[Verse 1]
I found your name
On a burned-up card
Still in my coat
Like a weathered scar
Your last words
Stuck to my hands
I read them slow
I still don’t understand
[Pre-Chorus]
You said, “Don’t wait”
But I did anyway
Now every empty room
Knows what to say
[Chorus]
I’m holding on
To a burning postcard (burning postcard)
Your face still calls
From the edge of my heart
I’m holding on
Till the night grows cold
And I can’t let go
No, I can’t let go
[Verse 2]
There’s a dent in the door
Where you slammed it shut
A coffee ring
On the old wood cut
And every song
That comes on next
Feels like your ghost
With a merciless breath
[Pre-Chorus]
You said, “Move on”
Like it was easy talk
But the hardest roads
Are the ones you walk
[Chorus]
I’m holding on
To a burning postcard (burning postcard)
Your face still calls
From the edge of my heart
I’m holding on
Till the night grows cold
And I can’t let go
No, I can’t let go
[Bridge]
If I could trace
That last goodbye
I’d write it back
In your own sky
But the ash drifts down
And the ember dies
Still I hear your voice
On the other side
[Chorus]
I’m holding on
To a burning postcard (burning postcard)
Your face still calls
From the edge of my heart
I’m holding on
Till the night grows cold
And I can’t let go
No, I can’t let go
[Outro]
Burning postcard
Burning postcard
I can’t let go
