Camera Shop
Captured Yearning: A Tale of Unseen Desires at the Camera Shop
Lyrics
He works at the camera shop
He is employed at a camera shop.
It's getting expensive to see him
The cost or effort to spend time with him is increasing.
Had a hobby got a crush I'm cashed in
She had a hobby and developed a crush, but now she's invested or committed.
Says he's got what I need and I believe him
He claims to have what she needs, and she believes him.
Brown eyes just like soda pop
Describing his brown eyes as reminiscent of soda pop.
Finished off my last roll with a few for him
Used the last roll of film, saving a few photos for him.
I hope he's been flipping through my negatives
She hopes he has looked through her photographs (negatives).
It feels good to feel anonymous, get what I give
Feeling good about being anonymous and the reciprocal nature of giving and receiving.
I wonder if he exists outside this room
Questioning if he exists beyond the confines of the camera shop.
Buying anything he's selling hoping he'll take me home soon
Buying into whatever he is selling, hoping for a connection or invitation home.
Closed Sunday I bet he's off,
Speculating that he has a day off on Sunday.
Driving over the hill with some place to be
Imagining him driving with a destination in mind.
Im fixing for a change in scenery
Expressing a desire for a change in surroundings.
He works 9-5 but he knows how to get free
He has a 9-5 job but knows how to enjoy freedom.
I wonder if he exists outside this room
Reiterating the uncertainty about his existence beyond the camera shop.
Buying anything he's selling hoping he'll take me home soon
Continuing to invest in the hope that he will take her home soon.
