Oliver Walker - Postcard lyrics
[Oliver Walker - Postcard lyrics]
Don’t waste away
Cause I’ll see it all one day, yeah, yeah
Imma go to all these places
And Imma take a picture for you for you
Don’t waste away
Cause I’ll see it all one day, yeah, yeah
Imma go to all these places
And Imma take a picture for you for you
Mm, I’ll send a postcard mom
I know you hate it when I say
In a few years I’ll be gone
Build a house with a wife and some kids
Been rapping in my room in my parents crib
This is it, my last few years
I know they laugh
But they won’t when I’m gone outta here
And when I am imma show you all what I got
This mixtape just a sample of a biggеr crop
Mm
Rough times
But she got me through thеm loosely
Bought a couple presents and we
Watched a couple movies
It was Christmas when I lost her in a instant
I know I have the chance
But you know I’m gonna miss it
I’m twisted but they tell me that I’m gifted
And that I got some talent
And that I shouldn’t waste it
I’ve been thinking out loud
My teachers try to help me out
But I wouldn’t shout my mouth
If I tried a little harder
I could’ve been smarter
But I guess I chose my path
When I started skipping math
Brag about it in my songs, yeah
Hoping somebody will laugh, yeah
Couple things that I wish I never told her
We were young but now we getting older
Words had no meaning now they getting bolder
Everybody’s colder, wishing I could hold her
But I can’t cause life is not a movie
Stop living in this dreamland and
Wake up to reality
Before your brain gets sensitive and
Can’t take the pain if you living in denial
You’ll be going insane, ha
That’s why we need these
Postcards and these memories
Send a couple to my friends
A couple to my family
See you when I’m famous
And I’m living with the finer things
You could’ve helped me out but you chose
To hate on all my dreams
Don’t waste away
Cause I’ll see it all one day
Imma go to all these places
And Imma take a picture for you for you
Imma write a postcard, postcard
Write about my life and how I’m doing okay
(yeah, yeah) imma write a postcard, postcard
Write about my life and how
I’m doing just okay just okay
When the city is asleep we
Go chasing what we can
All these people with they knives and
Their signs for the gram
I don’t wanna change but we
Need a change of plan
Hold my hand on my heart
Hold my heart with my hand
Do you see it though
Do you see what I could be? (Nah)
Take a little time out cause I’ve
Started thinking shitty things like
Am I dying? Am I cursed? Do
I need a little therapy?
Cause every single part of me
Has finally had enough of me you know
I’ve been writing when it’s dark out
The stars been shining bright making me
Just want to go out
And walk the streets with all my friends
Before this all comes to an end
Childhood is just a chapter of
This book, it’s just began, shit
I had Gambino on my stereo
And I was playing Mario
Odyssey with Jack’s control
Bought this shit a year ago
Never had it on the go
There’s a letter for you, Oli
Open up the envelope
And although I’ve been doing
This for years now
This the first time that it’s
Brought down to tears, wow
Ain’t that something
I took my parents advice
I did it all my way
And now I’m doing what I like
For a living? Not yet
Although I’m counting down the days till when
I make an album as a job
And not just play pretend
Inside my head, dream big or go home
Playing Ivy through the phone
Cause his lyrics, shit, they gold
I’ll do this till I’m old, at least I hope so
I go round and round until I find my home
And you ain’t ready for it, no
You don’t even know what I’m getting ready
Like I’m cooking on the stove
So I’ll be back in a bit, don’t you worry
Imma go on tour postcard, did you get it
Through you door today?
I hope you did, I hope you did
And you know what I’m gonna say
Don’t waste away
Cause I’ll see it all one day
Imma go to all these places
And Imma take a picture for you for you
Imma write a postcard, postcard
Write about my life and how I’m doing okay
(yeah, yeah) imma write a postcard, postcard
Write about my life and how
I’m doing just okay just okay
Don’t waste away
Cause I’ll see it all one day
Imma go to all these places
And Imma take a picture for you for you
Imma write a postcard, postcard
Write about my life and how I’m doing okay
Imma write a postcard, postcard
Write about my life and how
I’m doing just okay just okay
Cause I’ll see it all one day, yeah, yeah
