07- Photographs

[Verse 1 – quiet, flat] Old box Under my bed Your face Still says “us” Every smile Doesn’t move Every moment Stays true [Pre-Chorus – restrained] I turn one Then I stop Every frame Is a lock [Chorus – small, honest] These photographs Don’t change They don’t leave They don’t break Every time I look through They still look Like you [Verse 2 – lower] Corners bend Colors fade Every year Moves away You’re still there I’m not the same Every line Says your name [Pre-Chorus – same, heavier] I hold them In my hands Like they’re something I can stand [Chorus – same, firmer] These photographs Don’t change They don’t leave They don’t break Every time I look through They still look Like you [Bridge – near-whisper] If I stay In this frame Would I keep All the same? I don’t move I just stare All this time Trapped in there [Final Chorus – resigned] These photographs Hold you still Every face Every will I move on They stay true They don’t age Like you do [Outro – cut short] Box goes back Under my bed You still smile In my head
