In a way this song is about me and a lot of the people I know who love photography.

This song goes out to a friend of mine, it's not ABOUT her life mind you. I just think people with cameras are interesting people. Capturing life to store it away in a frame. To escape to that place again. I love this idea and hope I did it justice. btw, this is a terrible terrible demo in my books...one take on everything. But, it's done.

like every morning before
she grabs her camera and smiles as she shuts the door
she doesn't feel she belongs
but in her pictures nothing seems to be so wrong

so she'll take what she gets
when she opens her lens
she can translate darkness into light
negatives reversed save every sight

So she aims and shoots again

and so it goes
she loves her dreams too much to let go
with every frame, she's holding on (and on and on)
fall to the floor and then she's gone
she hides inside her photographs

retrace it all from the start
remembered afternoons of tears and of broken hearts
don't think she'll ever forget
the lying and the romance and spent cigarettes

she's rewinding the past
finding peace at long last
taking back the moments that she's lost
breathing freedom in at any cost

So she aims and shoots again

And so it goes
she lives her life in super slow-mo
with every frame, she's holding on (and on and on)
fall to the floor and then she's gone
she hides inside her photographs

they may not understand
the world she holds in her hands
5x7 fantasy
places she's always dreamed to be

and so it goes
she loves her dreams too much to let go
with every frame, she's holding on (and on and on)
fall to the floor and then she's gone
she hides inside her photographs
