Lyrics
Take back that photograph it breaks my heart
Expressing a desire to retrieve a painful photograph
And I will wait by the telephone
Committing to waiting by the telephone for something
While the silence pressures my eardrum
Feeling the pressure of silence, creating a tense atmosphere
I found a black and white with a person smiling sad at me
Describing a black and white photograph with a sad smile
Now I know can't get back that photograph once it's been seen
Realizing the irreversible nature of seeing certain images
Promise you won't let me fall asleep never to wake up
Seeking assurance not to fall asleep permanently
Til my breath is gone don't let the color of my eyes fade
Asking not to let the vibrancy of one's eyes diminish
Promise you will find a way through the night while the angels cry
Requesting support through difficult times symbolized by night
You color your heart blood red love does not fade away
Stating that genuine love remains enduring and vivid
Can't give back that photograph once it's been signed
Acknowledging the permanence of a signed photograph
And I can't stop thinking about your voice
Continuously thinking about someone's voice
Now it's keeping me up at night
Experiencing sleeplessness due to persistent thoughts
I found myself on a black and white staring back at me
Discovering oneself in a reflective moment in a photograph
Now I know, can't get back that photograph
Reiterating the inability to retrieve a certain photograph
It just needs color
Suggesting the photograph lacks color and vibrancy
Promise you won't let me fall asleep never to wake up
Seeking assurance against permanent slumber
Til my breath is gone don't let the color of my eyes fade
Emphasizing the importance of preserving the color of one's eyes
Promise you will find a way through the night while the angels cry
Requesting guidance through difficult times with symbolic angels
You color your heart blood red love does not fade away
Affirming the enduring nature of love represented by a red heart
Blood-drop on that black and white
Highlighting the significance of a blood-drop on a monochrome image
Is the only thing that can colorize these non-colored eyes
Suggesting that only a blood-drop can bring color to colorless eyes
Promise you won't let me fall asleep never to wake up
Reiterating the plea not to succumb to permanent sleep
Til my breath is gone don't let the color of my eyes fade
Stressing the importance of preserving the vibrancy of eyes
Promise you will find a way through the night while the angels cry
Requesting support through difficult times with angelic imagery
You color your heart blood red love does not fade
Affirming the lasting nature of love, asserting that it does not fade
