Lyrics

You look at me from a shelf by the bed,
A grin on your face and a hat on your head.
One snap of a finger captured you plain.
How were you feeling inside the frame?
If the reflections in windows are true,
I'm getting older, and you never do.
You're locked at that party, drinking champagne.
I wish I knew you inside the frame.

I wanna walk into stills from the past,
Sit down and talk with you after the flash.
Tell me a story before you and I,
Something that I can remember you by.

These days, I work at a diner in town.
I show when I'm happy. I hide when I'm down,
Because there are people, and I know why they came,
But I ain't invincible inside the frame.

I go to bed, but I can't sleep it through.
Everyone says I remind them of you.
How did you handle the heartache and pain?
The answer is stuck somewhere inside a frame.

I wanna walk into stills from the past,
Sit down and talk with you after the flash.
Tell me a story before you and I,
Something that I can remember you by.

I like the pictures we don't know they take,
When no one figures the face they should make.
If I look low, babe, I don't give a damn.
God let me go down the way that I am.
