Lyrics
Photograph
Written By Charles D'Simone
You're just a photograph
So much more I can see
Turn it around photographs lie
Frozen in time a picture
Just one of a thousand camera angles
A thousand eyes
It's just one of those days
Where worlds collide
And time surrenders in perfect light
And everything in frame falls to pieces
[Chorus]
And now a photograph is all I have
The memory is burned into my mind
And it will live forever never changing
And now I am standing on the outside looking in
You're just a photograph
You're just a photograph
I've seen it all in pictures
Beauty profound ugliness too
Just turn the page
Life is so complicated
You cannot hide behind the camera
You are betrayed
It's a split of a second
Captured in space
A photo finish who won the race
When time stands still
You never disappear
[Chorus]
And all I have is just a photograph
The memory is burned into my mind
And it will live forever never changing
But now I'm standing on the outside looking in
You're just a photograph
You're just a photograph
You're just a photograph
You're just a photograph
