The grass is greener, they say
But the sidewalk's so much colder
Don't stutter your sorrys, get moving
Write a book and come back so much older
Clicking pictures in another city
Photo albums write another story
Don't skip the start, only take in the good part
The good part in this medium gives another story to tell
Breathing so fast when you kissed the phone
Dismissed yourself to feel so alone
Said goodbye with one last lie
But you always forget you can't hide from time
Could it be - finding holes in stories
Like smoke rings blown out last spring
Burn the negatives is what you're thinking?
Covered up for the new beginning it brings?
Clicking pictures in another city
Photo albums write another story
Don't skip the start, and only take in the good part
The good part in this medium gives another story to tell
Breathing so fast when you kissed the phone
Dismissed yourself to feel so alone
Said goodbye with one last lie
But you always forget you can't hide from time
Could it be everybody knows what's up
The secrets in your camera?
Chemicals to make the prints
Stolen souls until the next night begins
Must miss the faces you knew
While breathing through your scarf in the park
Out-of-focus prints really get to you
Slow down the shutter or you'll never find light in the dark
Clicking pictures in another city
Photo albums write another story
Don't skip the start, and only take in the good part
The good part in this medium gives another story to tell
