Lyrics

Pictures -Ryan Sheeler


VERSE 1
They're so neatly arranged - sitting near the chairs
Nestled in the bedroom, up and down the stairs
Friends and memories: Glossy 8 X10s
Graduations, weddings, and verses - reminders of time well-spent


VERSE 2
In her bedroom it sat there: dust on it growin' old
sitting on an old corner chair, a story waiting to be told
from frame split in two, just like her childhood was
in one she's five, the other she's thirteen: innocence defined and lost


VERSE 3
Then there was the one of her and I she stuck in her cupboard door
The joy in that picture wasn't in her heart any more....
She took it down in cold desire just before she left that night
She said she was just cleaning but I knew something wasn't right


VERSE 4
Those were memories he relived when he looked her window
And stood there reliving something that's lost in the snow
That's me living in the past - the safety in those frames
Feels better than a future without her but it's still the past all the same


VERSE 5
He turned to walk away when the light caught his eye
A picture he'd never seen before now he wondered why
The artist must have been the Master 'cause He drew them face to face
The years and anger faded and left was a picture of grace
