Postcard Lyrics

[Verse 1: Troye Sivan]
I sent you a postcard from Tokyo, baby
You never picked it up
I even wrote it in Japanese, baby
You didn't give a fuck

[Pre-Chorus: Troye Sivan]
'Cause I don't sleep like your body's on me
I won't feel right until we can be
Underneath everything that's between
Yeah
I'm undone about to burst at my seams
'Cause I am picturing you beside me
So let me be everything that you need
Yeah

[Chorus: Troye Sivan]
But you're still picking me up
Don't put me back down like it's nothing to ya
Yeah, you're still picking me up
Don't you put me back down
Don't you put me back down
Like it's nothing to ya
Like it's nothing to ya

[Verse 2: Troye Sivan & Gordi]
I remember that night that you first called me crazy
Only you picked it up
Kissed me and said "I love you, baby"
You didn't give a fuck
[Pre-Chorus: Troye Sivan & Gordi]
Now I don't sleep unless your body's on me
I won't feel right until we can be
Underneath everything that's between
Yeah
I'm undone about to burst at my seams
'Cause I am picturing you beside me
So let me be everything that you need
Yeah

[Chorus: Troye Sivan & Gordi]
But you're still picking me up
Don't put me back down like it's nothing to ya
Yeah, you're still picking me up
Don't you put me back down
Don't you put me back down
Like it's nothing to ya
Like it's nothing to ya

[Bridge: Gordi]
Take your time, pull me in, push me out
Simplify all the whispers of doubt
'Cause I know what you're thinking about

[Chorus: Troye Sivan & Gordi]
But you're still picking me up
Don't put me back down like it's nothing to ya
Yeah, you're still picking me up
Don't you put me back down
Don't you put me back down
Like it's nothing to ya
Like it's nothing to ya
Like it's nothing to ya
Like it's nothing to ya
Like it's nothing to ya

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

The song was confirmed in an interview with I-D Vice:

One time I wrote my boyfriend a postcard from Tokyo. He’s the most scatterbrained person in the world and I love him for it! […] He missed it at the front door so had to go to the post office. Four or five days went by and he finally went to go get it, but by that point the post office had lost it. I thought it kinda sucked. It was one of those first moments where you realise that your partner isn’t perfect.

On May 28th, songwriter Gordi confirmed the song title via Twitter:
