Lyrics

I took your picture

I captured an image of you

I felt my heartbeat slow down

I sensed a slowing of my heartbeat

It's hard to miss you

It's challenging to not think of you

'Cause you're the one thing moving in the background

You are the prominent figure in the background


I'm not my temperature wondering, pay for it

I'm uncertain about my emotions, willing to pay the price for it

My lips are numb when I try to take a frame

My ability to express myself is hindered when I try to capture a moment

I've got this problem and I'm trying to tell you

I have a problem, and I'm attempting to communicate with you

I watch the photographs fading away

I witness the images fading from my memory


Close to someone's reaches

Being close to someone has its limitations

Won't please the enemy

Pleasing someone else won't satisfy adversaries

Close to someone's reaches

Proximity to someone may not be enough

Hope it's not the end of me

I hope this situation doesn't mark my demise


Tinge of blue (close to someone's reaches)

A hint of sadness or regret in the closeness to someone

To the end (won't please the enemy)

Approaching the end without pleasing those against us

Left our hearts (close to someone's reaches)

We left our hearts with regrets in close connections

With regrets (I'm learning)

Learning from mistakes and past actions


I took your picture

I captured another image of you

I found a light shine on you

I found a positive aspect or light shining on you

But I can't fix it

I realize I can't fix the situation

Think I knew by now it's all that we do

I probably knew by now that capturing moments is all we do


I'm running out of ways to get to the truth of it

I'm running out of methods to uncover the truth

Our time is nothing but frozen fingertips

Our time together feels cold and distant

I saw it coming and I'm trying to tell you

I anticipated the outcome and am trying to convey it to you

I took the photograph and threw it away

I took the photograph but discarded it


Close to someone's reaches

Being close to someone still has its limitations

Won't please the enemy

Pleasing others won't appease those against us

Close to someone's reaches

Proximity to someone may not be enough

Hope it's not the end of me

I hope this situation doesn't mark my demise

Close to someone's reaches

Being close to someone still has its limitations

Won't please the enemy

Pleasing others won't appease those against us

Close to someone's reaches

Proximity to someone may not be enough


Tinge of blue (close to someone's reaches)

A hint of sadness or regret in the closeness to someone

To the end (won't please the enemy)

Approaching the end without pleasing those against us

Left our hearts (close to someone's reaches)

We left our hearts with regrets in close connections

With regrets (I'm learning)

Learning from mistakes and past actions

Tinge of blue (close to someone's reaches)

A hint of sadness or regret in the closeness to someone

To the end (won't please the enemy)

Approaching the end without pleasing those against us

Left our hearts (close to someone's reaches)

We left our hearts with regrets in close connections

With regrets (I'm learning)

Learning from mistakes and past actions
