A postcard from paradise
Delivered by mortal hands
X marks the spot where you lay
Now the sun burns down on the sand

I watched you sleeping
Listened to you breathing
Wondered if you were dreaming
What were you dreaming?
And I fell under your spell
And I lay where I fell
So wind down your window
I think I'm gonna kiss you
I dont know what else to do
You send me

Postcards from paradise
Yeah, you do
You send me
Postcards from paradise
Yeah, you do

Like a car broke down in the rain
I just can't get started again
Without you
I want you to stay

Postcards from paradise
Delivered by mortal hands
X marks the spot where you lay
Now the sun burns down on the sand

There goes love again
7 day wondering
Out on the ledge again
Your'e threatening to jump again
Here comes temptation
Dragging it out again
Riding a bullet train
To your central nervous station
And I fell under your spell
And I lay where I fell
So wind down your window
I think I'm gonna kiss you
I dont know what else to do
You send me

Postcards from paradise
Yeah, you do
You send me
Postcards from paradise
Yeah, you do

Like a car broke down in the rain
I just can't get started again
Without you
I want you to stay
You send me

Postcards from paradise
Yeah, you do
You send me
Postcards from paradise
Yeah, you do

I waant you
To send me

The Goo Goo Dolls are an American rock band formed in 1986 in Buffalo, NY, during one of Buffalo’s most prolific underground music phases. The band was formed by John Rzeznik (Also known as Johnny Rzeznik), lead singer and songwriter for the band, with bassist/vocalist Robby Takac, and drummer George Tutuska. Mike Malinin later replaced Tutuska as the band’s drummer.

The band has released twelve studio albums between 1986 and 2017, but they are best known for platinum-selling A Boy Named Goo (1995) and Dizzy Up the Girl (1998). These mid- to late 1990s albums contain the Goo Goo Dolls' biggest hits to date – Name and Iris most notably, but also Slide, Black Balloon, and Dizzy

These hits made the Goo Goo Dolls a household name for radio-friendly “prom night power balladry” (as one Rolling Stone review put it), but the band’s early output was often far rougher musically, melding the band’s edgier punk influences with an often soft sensibility in the mold of the band’s early heroes, The Replacements. One can hear these influences on many songs on A Boy Named Goo though these affinities would fade after Dizzy Up the Girl.
