Lyrics
You're wearing a dress and the sun's in your eyes
You're caught in a moment, like dreaming in light
And I was a child with no clue how to say
That I loved you in some quiet, stumbling way
A photograph! — it's all I've got
Your face, a fire I never forgot
You're somewhere now, maybe not far
But I return to you in dreams, like chasing stars
The swing sets are gone, the chalk on the street
The classroom where silence and glances would meet
Now this old picture, it's all that I own
You stayed the same, while I've outgrown
A photograph!— the past stands still
A frozen breath I'm holding still
You were my spring, my gentle ache
A ghost in the frame that time can't take
I still see the wind playing tricks in your hair
Your laugh in the hallways that danced through the air
I searched for you in faces, in crowds
But the world just kept spinning too fast, too loud
A photograph!— you're here somehow
Sitting in silence, across time now
You were my truth before I could speak,
My very first fear, and the love I still seek
Do you still have that blurry old frame
Where I ran behind you, late again
Maybe you don't — but I always will
You're the photo I carry when time stands still
A photograph!— it's all I've got
Your face, a fire I never forgot
You're somewhere now, maybe not far
But I return to you in dreams, like chasing stars
