Impatient Camera Lyrics

You never want to smile in pictures

The camera's getting impatient for the moment

Some come on, let's take a picture together

We've spent the day together

The smirk on your face says it all

The first picture, it all felt like a dream

Captured the bottom of everything

Your eyes were looking at me

I'm sitting up in the dark, staring into a picture light

Who knew love could last so long, and the fire shine so bright

But it's been three days now, and something's changed now

And I don't know what it means, but I can't get your eyes out of my head

I always did have long leaves growing down

And I've cried a'many times in my gray garden

But that's why I've got these flowers blooming around

You really could see

You hand me a sketch you drew of me

To you I'm your flowerpot, to me, you're the sun

You see everything there possibly could be

I wish you could see what I see

I'm sitting up in the dark, staring into my mirror

Well I can't focus on anything, when the future's so unclear

Cause it's been three days now, and something's changed now

And I don't know what it means, but I can't get your eyes out of my head

I'm just a camera that's run out of film

And in this moment the blades are up

It's getting so dark, it's that time of night when everything is still

But I know there's still stars

Well I know somewhere you're out there

And in the dark of your night, I hope it's a goodnight

And I hope you know that I am always right here

Where is here in this life

I'm sitting up in the dark, staring into the dark

To tell you the whole story, well I don't know where to start

Cause it's been three days now, and something's changed now

And I don't know what it means, but I can't get your eyes out of my head

When my mind can capture your face

And when the day comes that I have the spirit of your eyes

I'll paint a canvas with your grace

And you'll be smiling, you'll be smiling
