[Intro] (Faded...) Yeah, I'm just lost in all these frames again A moment time-locked, frozen in the past It's bitter-sweet, this static on the print A perfect captured feeling I know couldn't last This photograph... (Just a photograph...) [Verse 1] Fading colors on a glossy page We were younger then, unaffected by the age Caught a flash of light, holding on to your waist Now I’m staring at a memory I can't erase Got a stack of 4x6s sitting on my desk Trying to pinpoint the moment that we went from best To strangers in the dark, scrolling through the feed Looking at the life that we no longer lead It’s crazy how a shutter click can hold a soul While the real world takes its heavy toll [Chorus] Looking at this photograph, trapped inside the light Wishing I could step right back into that night We were shining bright, faded at the edges now Tried to hold us together, but we lost it somehow Yeah, it’s caught in the frame, but the feeling changed Nothing stays the same... Just a photograph, fading in the dark [Verse 2] Yeah, flash freeze, two degrees from perfection Now I’m looking at a phantom in my own reflection Developing the negatives, searching for a sign Where the picture fractured down the center line You got that candid smile, laughing at the camera lens Before the love turned cold and we became pretend I hold the polaroid, waiting for the colors to show But the warmth in your eyes started fading long ago Paper thin memories, heavy as a stone Standing in a room full of pictures, all alone [Chorus] Looking at this photograph, trapped inside the light Wishing I could step right back into that night We were shining bright, faded at the edges now Tried to hold us together, but we lost it somehow Yeah, it’s caught in the frame, but the feeling changed Nothing stays the same... Just a photograph, fading in the dark [Outro] (Click of a camera shutter...) Frozen in time... Yeah, you’re still mine in the picture. But only in the picture. (Fade to silence...)
