[HEAVY GUITAR RIFF]

[VERSE 1]

I found a picture hiding in the hallway
Behind a frame I hadn’t touched in years
Three strangers standing underneath a streetlight
Smiling like they knew I would be here

There’s a date written underneath the corner
Ink is faded but the numbers still remain
I checked the calendar, checked the newspaper
That date hasn’t happened yet

[PRE-CHORUS]

Tell me I’m dreaming
Tell me I’m wrong
Tell me somebody’s playing with the clock

Because that photograph
Has my face in it
And I’m standing there with someone I don’t know

[CHORUS]

There’s a picture on the wall
And I’m in it
There’s a future in the frame
And I’m living it

I don’t know that street
I don’t know that girl
But somehow she’s holding my hand
In a picture from another world

There’s a picture on the wall
And it shouldn’t exist
If tomorrow hasn’t happened
Then how did I get this?

[VERSE 2]

I drove downtown looking for the streetlight
Found the corner just before the rain
Same old building, same cracked sidewalk
Same little café with a different name

Then I saw her sitting by the window
Same face from the photograph
She looked at me like she had been waiting
Then she stood up and walked away

[PRE-CHORUS]

I chased her through the traffic
But she vanished in the crowd
Then every radio around me
Started screaming way too loud

[CHORUS]

There’s a picture on the wall
And I’m in it
There’s a future in the frame
And I’m living it

I don’t know that street
I don’t know that girl
But somehow she’s holding my hand
In a picture from another world

There’s a picture on the wall
And it shouldn’t exist
If tomorrow hasn’t happened
Then how did I get this?

[BRIDGE - GUITARS DROP, LOW BASS PULSE]

[Radio static]

VOICE:
You found the picture.

MALE:
Who is this?

VOICE:
You know her.

MALE:
I’ve never seen her before.

VOICE:
Not yet.

[Static]

MALE:
What happens tomorrow?

VOICE:
Tomorrow isn’t the problem.

MALE:
Then what is?

[Long silence]

VOICE:
Yesterday.

[HEAVY GUITAR CRASH]

[FINAL CHORUS]

There’s a picture on the wall
And I’m in it
Now the future knows my name
And I’m listening

That girl in the frame
Was standing in the rain
And when she looked at me
She whispered something I can’t explain

There’s a picture on the wall
And now I understand
Maybe I didn’t find the future…

Maybe the future found me first

[OUTRO - DISTORTED GUITAR]

[Radio static]

DJ:
You’re listening to 11:11.

[Pause]

DJ, quietly:
And tonight’s photograph…

…was taken yesterday.
