Photograph

We were both just eighteen inches tall in that beat up old wheelbarrow

Her name was Carla and we played Red Rover and we Care-bear stared those cars to come over

He was seventeen and his only dream was to go to some places that he’d never seen

And the world said don’t, but I packed his bags and said go

Your small apartment with your hide-a-bed was the perfect place to lay my head

We blew a tire just outside Quill Lake so we painted our nails on the back of the tail gate

You held my flowers and I held yours and we took to the trampoline with our swords

And we saw our hair go blond red black and blue

And snap, there goes another photograph

How’d I even get here

I couldn’t tell you now

Cause there’s so many things that are so unclear

All we were scared of is that it would end before we’d begun

So we said, turn around, take ten paces and run

Key chain is scratched but I never lost it ‘cause it spent ten years in my front pocket

Went back in time to find a lost what if just to see that it didn’t have all I had given it

I was seventeen and my only dream was to go to some places that I’d never seen

And the world said don’t, but I packed my bags and said go

And snap, there goes another photograph

How’d I even get here

I couldn’t tell you now

Cause there’s so many things that are so unclear

All we were scared of is that it would end before we’d begun

So we said, turn around, take ten paces and run

And I am standing here

Looking forward into a mirror

And I break into a million seven years

And you are here with me

Soaking wet from the ocean breeze

And I ask, can we stay here, please, please, please

And it went snap, there goes another photograph

How’d I even get here

I couldn’t tell you now

Cause there’s so many things that are so unclear

All we were scared of is that it would end before we’d begun

So we said turn around, take ten paces no…

This way I wanna see your face, yeah…

Turn around, take ten paces and run
