Lyrics
Just take a photograph
What is it that the camera fails to catch
Its lens is solid glass
Its shape correcting what we see
To better catch reality
Its shape correcting what we know
But in our hearts something says it isn't so
Take out a photograph
Does the stillness of the image make you sad?
Press up against the glass
So many things we long to say
But something's always in the way
So many things we long to hear
But never listen to the message never fear
You are no photograph
You cannot freeze the present in the past
This image cannot last
Holding on to what we are
Is just a kind of camera
Holding on to what we know
is painful when the world is saying
let it go
