Faded Pictures Lyrics

In the days before you knew me

Better than I knew myself

Other eyes would look right through me

Passing by like vague farewells

Just a stranger in a strange land

Walking slowly, looking down

Never trusting in my own hands

Lost inside with no way out

Love, oh it was a dream

Love, it was everything

When you came I wasn't ready

I was sure no one could swim

In the waters I was treading

But you went and dove right in

And the currents tried to hold you

Far away and out of reach

And I don't know why you chose to

Risk it all to get to me

Love, oh it was a dream

Love, it was everything

Not every day was perfect

But looking back right now

I wouldn't trade a moment

That led us through the dark

To what we found

Faded pictures, smiling faces

See those kids we used to be

Little moments rearranged us

Time and patience set us free

Knowing now the place we landed

What a thing so rare is worth

I can see it, understand it

How could you have been so sure when

Love, oh it was a dream

Love, it was everything
