fill your phone Lyrics

My phone is full of too many and not enough photos

Photos of coffee and Thursdays and

Moments that have reminded me life is worth living

Screenshots of recipes I'll never make

Photos of us and that perfect meal we had in Birmingham

Staged photos and selfies and

Covers of books I've been meaning to buy

So they can sit on my shelf

Photos of memories I'll only remember when I see the photo

My phone is full of photos I've been meaning to delete

My phone has more photos of sunsets than sunrises

More pastries than salads

More dogs than cats

Videos of my son doing miraculous things

Like breathing and blinking and being

Photos of skylines and concerts

And views from the airplane window seat

Photos of those I have loved and lost

Videos of my dog running through the snow

And sticking his head out the window while we drive down the road

And all the things that make me ask him

Who's a good boy

Photos that remind me of what was and make me wonder what will be

I say all of this to say

Fill your phone

Fill your life

Recall the past

Give yourself to the present

Take the photo and then

Put your phone away

And enjoy the moment
