[Verse 1]
Excuse me, I need a bit of you, please
Candles and chocolate strawberries
You'll tell me I look good in a sheet
Slow down and feel our lips meet
Excuse me, I need a bit of you, please
Champagne and you make me tipsy
Baby, put on some music, pretend that we’re in a movie
Starring you and me, I need a bit of you, please
[Pre-Chorus]
But you can't come here, I can't go there
Don’t even share a hemisphere
Just wish you were near, it's so unclear
Am I waiting days, or months or years?
[Chorus]
You call, you tеxt, you do it right
But you can't keep me warm at night
How many post stamps must I buy to send myself to you?
And I'm still yours and you'rе still mine
But you can't hold me when I cry
How many post stamps must I buy to send myself to you?
[Post-Chorus]
To send myself
To send myself to you
To send myself
To send myself to you
[Verse 2]
Excuse me, I need a bit of you, please
It's been 21.7 weeks and counting
But this ain't a winning streak
I’d break it in a heartbeat
To feel your heartbeat
I need a bit of you, please
[Pre-Chorus]
But you can’t come here, I can't go there
Don’t even share a hemisphere
Just wish you were near, it's so unclear
Am I waiting days, or months, years?
[Chorus]
You call, you text, you do it right
But you can't keep me warm at night
How many post stamps must I buy to send myself to you?
And I'm still yours and you’re still mine
But you can't hold me when I cry
How many post stamps must I buy to send myself to you?
[Post-Chorus]
To send myself
To send myself to you
To send myself
To send myself to you
[Bridge]
Yeah, I know sometimes I complain
But don't stop checking your mailbox, baby
And I won't stop counting the days
But how long can you hold on for me?
[Chorus]
You call, you text, you do it right
But you can't keep me warm at night
How many post stamps must I buy to send myself to you?
And I'm still yours and you're still mine
But you can't hold me when I cry
How many post stamps must I buy to send myself to you?
[Post-Chorus]
To send myself
To send myself to you
To send myself
To send myself to
To send myself to you
To send myself
To send myself to you
Post Stamps was written by Carlton Lynn & Alisa.
Post Stamps was produced by Keith Sorrells & Alex Niceforo.
Alisa released Post Stamps on Fri Jun 11 2021.
“Post Stamps” is a song that I wrote when Australia was in lockdown last year. It’s about long distance relationships and the uncertainty of ‘if’ and ‘when’ two people will be able to meet again.
