Photographs Lyrics

A million photographs taken in this room

Manic-ly taking stills of windows and brooms

Trying to capture memories

When we all patter around unknowing

Yes, we pitter everything unforming

Silicon mold, still on hold

Trying to hold on, you're afraid of getting old

All summer long, eating french-toast croissants

Bacon and eggs in a room at Red Rocks

"Isn't it time we take a photo?"

Of blue mountain in eyeglass

The skyline being traced by a crow

I've been waiting all night for you to ask

Focus that lens, raise that stand

Set a backdrop, let's make a plan

This moment won't ever happen again

Press that button.

When every second of your life has been captured by a camera

You can watch the lines on the door-frame grow in front of 'ya

And: When I came home the wood was worn

But the room was bare

No photographs, the flowers dead in my hair

No memories in my stare

So:

Isn't it time we take a photo?

Of blue mountain in eyeglass

The skyline being traced by a crow

I've been waiting all night for you to ask

Isn't it time we take a photo?

Take a photo
