lyrics

ONE ROLLERSKATE

I found a postcard that I meant to send you
From a time when I missed you when we were apart
I liked to miss you cuz at least then I had you
Now this tattered postcard is all that’s left of my heart

I found a roller skate we got at the yard sale
You got the left one cuz I took the right
And in the right moments we were a matched pair
But nothing’s as useless as one roller skate

And I wonder what happened, what made it so hard
To find a mailbox and mail your postcard
I sure am sorry, but it’s just too late
Nothing’s as useless as one roller skate
Nothings as worthless as one rollerskate

I found a T-shirt you loaned to my sister
The last time we all did some work in the yard
And I wonder the would-haves and the could-haves and should-haves
If only I’d mailed that old postcard

I found a picture of both of us smiling
Taken way back when you had short hair
Your hair’s past your shoulders now love
& I don’t remember if I’d seen us smiling, both of us smiling since that picture there

And I wonder what happened, what made it so hard
To find a mailbox and mail your postcard
I sure am sorry, but it’s just too late
Nothing’s as useless as one roller skate
Nothings as worthless as one roller skate
