Yellow Mailbox

by Emily Herring

on Gliding (2017)

[Verse 1]
I met a girl down at the horseshoe
Smiles too easy, honey, she ain't you
But none of them are, none of them are

[Verse 2]
I whisper your name just to myself
Feels so soft and it don't help
When I close my eyes, there you are

[Pre-Chorus 1]
So you listen here and you listen good
'Cause I love you more than I probably should
But you're not here for me to love
And another season rolls through this town
Her [lighted ?] was [running?] down

[Chorus]
Hang a left down there by the cinder blocks
And you make a sharp right at the yellow mailbox
If you see a white church and an old graveyard
Maybe then you'll know you've gone too far

[Verse 3]
Couple shiny pennies won't take your place
Pennies don't do nothing but take up space
And there's no room, there's no room

[Verse 4]
Who else could hold my heart but you?
My mind made up, nothing left to do
This time I won't try, I won't try

[Pre-Chorus 2]
So you listen here and you listen good
'Cause I love you more than I probably should
But you're not here for me to love
Ain't no good reason, but I love this town
It's not your ideal of where to settle down

[Chorus]
Hang a left down there by the cinder blocks
And you make a sharp right at the yellow mailbox
If you see a white church and an old graveyard
Maybe then you'll know you've gone too far
