[Intro] Click of the frame Dust in the sun Same old song Been stuck on one [Verse 1] Little wooden mantel, chipped white paint Granddad built it when the roof still leaked There you are smilin' in your Sunday dress Color all washed like my stubborn streak Yellow turned cream Blue gone gray Edges curl up But you still stay [Chorus ] Faded photo on the mantel, still lookin' brand new to me Colors might be leavin', but the feelin's runnin' deep World keeps changin', clocks keep changin' But you stay where you always been Faded photo on the mantel Bringin' yesterday back again [Verse 2] Boot scuffs dancin' on this hardwood floor Same two-step we were leanin' toward Got that tilt in your head like you told a joke I can hear you laugh when the kettle smokes Rain on the roof Dogs out back Reggae in the kitchen Beat on track [Chorus ] Faded photo on the mantel, still lookin' brand new to me Colors might be leavin', but the feelin's runnin' deep World keeps changin', clocks keep changin' But you stay where you always been Faded photo on the mantel Bringin' yesterday back again [Bridge rap] Lean in close, let the groove ride slow Bass line talkin' while the years let go I tap that frame, whisper your name (yeah) Still my flame in a sepia frame [spoken, laid-back] Same old house New cracks in the wall But that little square picture Still says it all [Chorus ] Faded photo on the mantel, still lookin' brand new to me Colors might be leavin', but the feelin's runnin' deep World keeps changin', clocks keep changin' But you stay where you always been Faded photo on the mantel Bringin' yesterday back again
