MY LIFE IN PICTURES

I saw your face in a picture frame
I turned around and the scene had changed
One fleeting vision / come and gone

I boxed you in; tried to make it last
Spending my days inside the past
Why can’t this river / be a pond?

Build:
Where water portrays / An image so clear
Untouched by the waves / Unbroken by tears

Chorus:
My life / In pictures
It’s where I long to be
Everything’s perfect
And nothing really dies

My life / In pictures
I’m watching the scenery
And somehow it’s worth it
‘Cause you never say goodbye

But this ain’t the way I pictured
My life


Verse 2:
I hold a photo in my grasp
I’m wondering what had made you laugh
Was it derision? Well, I don’t mind.

‘Cause in my head, I told a joke.
Making you smile with the words I spoke
And we went out walking / For awhile.

Build:
Then you took my hand / And said you would stay
Oh, I can almost believe / It happened that way


Repeat chorus

Bridge:
They say a picture’s worth a thousand words
But sometimes, the words aren’t really true
And even though the camera don’t lie
Why’s it saying I belong with you?

Repeat Chorus


This ain't the way I pictured our life
