Official Music Video for "Forever Stamps"

Samuel Bodary May 4, 2023

lyrics

I bought a whole roll
Of these forever stamps
Guess I thought that I'd use them
More than I am
So it stings as it clings
To the top right corner of
The envelope that I stole from
The last job I loved
If you don't mind the American flag
We can send this one first class
But take a second to think
In light of everything
I bought a whole roll
Of these forever stamps
It's like a bet I won't be around
When it all comes crashing in
Who's gonna read
That final piece of post
We're alive but it's crowded dear
On the midwest coast
When the levees pop and the trains derail
And the water towers run black
Will they deliver the mail?
Rain, sleet, snow, or hail?
If you still trust the American flag
We can send this one first class
Forever's only a blink
Compared to everything
Do you still trust the American flag?
