Echoes in Polaroid

[Verse 1] I pull the lid from a cardboard crate Dust rises like it wants to celebrate Faded prints hide in a curled-up stack I lift one up and the years rush back Knee high socks and sunburned skin A yard full of cousins racing to win Dad held the camera high with pride He caught our world in a frozen slide [Pre-Chorus] I feel the past rise through the room Those days gone by, gone too soon (gone too soon) Color by color, frame by frame Pictures on phones don't feel the same. [Chorus] Echoes in Polaroid, calling me home Frozen bursts of childhood sealed in Kodachrome Laughter caught in time, bright and unrestrained Moments we lived before our lives changed. Echoes in Polaroid, still alive and warm Guiding my heart through every storm All through these Echoes in Polaroid [Verse 2] I find a shot of a beach that glowed Sand stuck to ice cream we barely slowed Our future felt like a winding ride Wide open roads with no need to hide Grandma waved from her porch swing seat Her summer dress moved in the heat She posed for fun, she never tried She was at peace with the world outside [Pre-Chorus] I feel the past rise through the room Those days gone by, gone too soon (gone too soon) Color by color, frame by frame Pictures on phones don't feel the same. [Chorus] Echoes in Polaroid, calling me home Frozen bursts of childhood sealed in Kodachrome Laughter caught in time, bright and unrestrained Moments we lived before our lives changed Echoes in Polaroid, still alive and warm Guiding my heart through every storm All through these Echoes in Polaroid [Bridge] I stack them slow, their truth unfolds The worn white borders feel like gold They carry years no heart can hold They speak again in stories told [Guitar solo] [Final Chorus] Echoes in Polaroid, calling me home Frozen bursts of childhood sealed in Kodachrome Every little joy we thought would fade Still stands strong in the life we made Echoes in Polaroid, still alive and warm Guiding my heart through every storm All through these Echoes in Polaroid (Echoes in Polaroid) Yeah, these Echoes in Polaroid
