This song came about as a result of my fascination with this blog: postsecret.blogspot.com. It started out as a guy with an idea, then became this huge THING, with books, speaking tours, etc. I like seeing little ideas blossom into something interesting.
Oh, the title is pronounced the way Kevin Costner says it in the movie "JFK."
lyrics
Send a postcard to yourself
Write down a secret you won't say out loud
Ain't nobody knows
You thought you were so smart
You never saw this coming
This can't be how it happens
And now you can't stop shaking
You always felt immortal
No need to take precautions
Nearly asphyxiated
And now you can't stop shaking
What if she hadn't been there?
Still can't believe it happened
You felt your face contorting
And now you can't stop shaking
You always know what's best
