lyrics

Take a picture to remember where you've been
Take a picture to remember these places now and then.
And when they come into view, that moment is through
And part of you is too

So take a picture to remember all you've known
Keep this picture so you can see how much you've grown,
Or stayed the same, when you wait here in vain, another moments come and gone

(Bridge) Time ticks away with all we've seen, All we've been shown, where does it go?
The words we speak, it's here we stay, the love we give, the love we've known.

So take a picture before the fade, before the change
What you'll see in pictures is somehow never quite the same,
As the lows and the highs, that you've seen with your eyes,
The captions been written in your brain

(Bridge)

So how you feeling, now you got to the last page? Ideas get cloudy as the pictures start to fade. And you're afraid to look down, for the fear that you'll drown in the swirl of memories from then to now.

As it happens, it’s also a good record, with a heartfelt earnestness that belies its DIY aesthetic.” Take a listen! ... more
