Postman
Love's Misdelivery: Postman's Heartbreak Symphony
Lyrics
Don't fall in love with the postman
Warning against developing romantic feelings for the postman.
He's going to break your heart again
Expectation of heartbreak as a consequence of falling in love with the postman.
He's gonna roll over your heart with his bike
Imagery of the postman running over emotions with his bike, possibly symbolizing emotional hurt.
But anyway, he is smart and so nice
Acknowledgment of the postman's intelligence and kindness despite the caution.
All I want is a letter from you
Desire for a personal letter.
I want you to write a letter for me
Request for the listener to write a letter.
He brings letters to everyone, except me
Feeling excluded as the postman delivers letters to everyone but the speaker.
He's always in my head, but I want to be free
The postman's constant presence in the speaker's thoughts, conflicting with the desire for freedom.
He always rings and, say hello
Highlighting the postman's regular greetings.
My dog knew it all along
A humorous note about the speaker's dog being aware of the postman's actions.
All I want is a letter from you
Reiteration of the desire for a personal letter.
I want you to write a letter for me
Repetition of the request for the listener to write a letter.
Can't you see I'm suffering from the pain
Expression of suffering and a plea for a love letter instead of routine interactions.
I want a love letter, not the same old game
Desire for a more meaningful and emotional connection, not just a repetitive game.
Letters falling down, on the street
Imagery of letters falling on the street, emphasizing a lack of personal connection.
Guess what, none of them was for me
Realization that none of the fallen letters is for the speaker.
Guess what, I don't care at all
Indifference towards the lack of letters, suggesting a coping mechanism.
Guess what, I'll write for myself
Decision to take matters into one's own hands and write letters for oneself.
All I want is a letter from you
Reiteration of the desire for a personal letter.
I want you to write a letter for me
Repetition of the request for the listener to write a letter.
Can't you see I'm suffering from the pain
Restatement of the speaker's suffering and the desire for a meaningful letter.
I want a love letter, not the same old game
Reiteration of the longing for a love letter, expressing dissatisfaction with routine.
Don't fall in love with the postman
Repetition of the initial warning against falling in love with the postman.
He's going to break your heart again
Reiteration of the expectation of heartbreak due to a romantic involvement with the postman.
He's gonna roll over your heart with his bike
Recurrence of the image of the postman causing emotional harm with his bike.
But anyway, he is smart and so nice
Acknowledgment of the postman's positive qualities despite the cautionary tone.
