Bad Posture - Yellow Lyrics

Hey, today is June 1st and I decided to write you that song
I never thought I'd put any of this down on paper
And I've been thinking about writing you a letter

A lost art with words I've probably said 100 times
In a form that would chronologically describe
My thoughts and feelings for the last six months

A letter that says
"Dear darling, I hope you're smiling after you read this"
Because benevolence has never looked so graceful

I always hated the color yellow
But the yellow way you look at life
The color of your energy and the way the paint rests on your pale hands

How I love holding those hands

An artist's hands with miles of tales embedded into every beautifully formed crease
Each crevice a story laden with memories
Tattooed to your skin like your least favorite flower

To the moon and back doesn't seem so far away
But it's as far as the stars can reach for you and me
And our souls can dance among the constellations
Like intertwined bodies transcending their earthly boundaries

I'll give you a palette of flowers
A bouquet of stained glass
Drape their dying bodies over your bed
There will be a garden in your dreams

Today is June 1st and I decided to write you that song
