-VERSE-
Wandering lonely through the snow streets of New York
I stumbled on a thrift store that sold postcards by the yard
I bought a mile and shipped them home so I could read
Ten thousand ten-word tragedies from lives these strangers lead
To remind myself the things I need
-Chorus-
'Cause I once wrote you love songs
You never fell in love
We used to fit like mittens, but never like gloves
-POST-Chorus-
Huddled holed up in my place in Holloway
I wondered if you'd ever heard those songs I used to play
Every one a gift for you and in return
You gave a pair of hand knit mittens to keep my fingers warm
So I could play more ignored love songs
-Chorus-
I once wrote you love songs
You never fell in love
We used to fit like mittens, but never like gloves
I once wrote you postcards
You never wrote back
Promised me you would and I'm still waiting for that
-POST-Chorus-
I wanna fit like gloves
Wanna fit like gloves
I wanna fit like gloves
I once wrote you love songs
You never fell in love
We used to fit like mittens but never like gloves
