Loose Leaf Love Letter Lyrics - Singles - Fairfax, Ak

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 carpet 

Or maybe it was the cardboard smell on his hands 

From the packages of ex-lovers 

He had been receiving 

She used to write poetry 

From what she thought was a simpler time 

And the verses would swim in his head 

And every goddamn folk song 

Would remind him of her 

And every cliche movie line 

Would remind him of a time 

Rummaging 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 do 

Find that bottle of wine she gave me and drink it 

Let the memories stain my vision 

As bad as merlot stains my teeth 

Throw that box of letters off a bridge somewhere 

And find some new songs to listen to 

And 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?
