Photographs Lyrics

I don't know if it's me it could be someone else

Just sitting there posing in some or other house

They're always saying that the camera never lies

But it pretty clear that it often damn well tries

I can't believe it it all feels very strange

I'm seeing everything and everything is all change

Looking through old photographs so many endings or maybe just false starts

There's lots of hurting and lots of laughs

A whole existence made up from fragmented parts

They're here to show us what we've been and done

A smile is representative of people having fun

A blue sky indicates that there's nothing there that matters

A static life seen through a lens a lens that one day shatters

Look at this now it's somewhere warm and there's a beach

I just can't connect with something so far out of reach

Probably 20 years ago last September

You shouldn't be surprised but I really don't remember

Images of images a shot of me and you

What am I to think what am I to do

Looking through old photographs so many endings, or maybe just false starts

There's lots of hurting and lots of laughs a whole existence

Made up from fragmented parts

They're here to show us what we've been and done

A smile is representative of people having fun

A blue sky indicates that there's nothing there that matters

A static life seen through a lens a lens that one day shatters

A picture showing life sublime a snapshot of a moment in time

Was it just the sun that shone has there been so much that's gone

A picture shot in black and white shades of grey reflect in light

Was it meant to capture me or was it how I wished I'd be

A picture now that's all I have it's going to have to be enough

Takes me right back to that day at least they can't take that away
