Just A Picture

slacker rock haunting pop; studio mix with wide stereo spread, layered reverb, and mournful dynamic contrast; piano and fingerpicked acoustic guitar lead into a midtempo loping rock groove with full-band lift and layered chorus doubles; emotional male baritone with wide range, intimate verses, rising pre-choruses, and strained sustained hooks

[Verse 1]
You went on the app
Made a silly face
Wiggled your eyebrows
(Yeah)
It was great
It probably
Never crossed your mind
What that picture did
It was one of a kind

[Verse 2]
Copper, falling
Past your shoulders
Those eyes looking
Somewhere through
And I'm sitting here
Without an answer
For what the hell

The hell I do
With you

[Pre Chorus]
'Cause I've told myself
A thousand times
Leave this feeling
Where it lies
And you appear
And every reason
Disappears

[Chorus]
It's just a picture
It's just a picture
That's all it should be
Just you
Being you
But put two and two together
Then it's you and me
As it should be
[Instrumental break]
[Bridge]
But I see Sunday
On the sofa
Your head laying
On my vest
Two cups
Going cold
And you're so warm
On my chest
And I know
It's only dreaming
It's never
Just a picture
When it's you I want
To sit next to
Oh, I confess

[Verse 3]
I could tell you that you're beautiful
But that wouldn't say enough
'Cause beauty doesn't explain
Why talking to you
Feels like us

[Pre Chorus]
I've disappeared
I've held my tongue
I try to leave
This thing undone
And you say
Hello, hello, hello
And then my whole world
Is undone

[Chorus]
It's just a picture
It's just a picture
That's all it should be
Just you
Being you
As it should be
But put two and two together
Then it's you and me
You and me
As it should be

[Verse 4]
So I want to turn those dreams today
Into morning sun with a little sway
I want to hold you just one little time
Your head on my shoulder
In my lifetime
My lifetime
My lifetime
My Lifetime!!
[Final Chorus]
It's just a picture
Just a picture
So why can't I
Breathe
Why does something so damn simple
Show me everything I need
Those ridiculous little funnies
That smile you try to hide
And somehow you're still beautiful
Enough to wreck me up
Inside
So I'll close it when I'm ready
And do what I always do
Pretend it was just a picture
Even though it means more to me
More than that to me!!
[Outro soft]
Just a picture
Just a picture
That's all it should be
[End]
