Photographs
Reflective Melancholy: Capturing Lost Moments in 'Photographs'
Lyrics
I'll never know how you felt when you kissed him
I'll never understand your emotions when you kissed another person
I'll never know if he made you smile
I'll never know if that person made you happy
I'll never know if you secretly think back and miss him
I'll never know if you reminisce and miss that person secretly
These things I wonder every once in a while
Expressing curiosity and contemplation about these thoughts
Honey, take down those photographs
Asking to remove reminders of past relationships (photographs)
I need to know what's passed is passed, oh
Expressing the need to move forward and let go of the past
Tell me I'm the only one, that your two-timing days are done
Requesting assurance of commitment, end of infidelity
That you have had your fun
Desiring confirmation that the partner has enjoyed themselves enough
When I met you, you were wild and you were free
Reflecting on the partner's wild and free past when they first met
When I met you, you were a whole lot like me
Recalling a time when both were similar in their wildness
Well, we've both grown quite a bit
Noting growth and changes in both individuals
There's some things I'd really like to forget
Expressing a desire to forget certain aspects of the past
You won't let me, I don't know why you won't let me
Expressing confusion about why the partner won't let go of the past
Honey, take down those photographs
Reiterating the request to remove reminders of past relationships
I need to know what's passed is passed, oh
Reiterating the need to move forward and leave the past behind
Tell me I'm the only one, that your two-timing days are done
Requesting confirmation of exclusive commitment and fidelity
That you have had your fun
Desiring assurance that the partner has had enough enjoyment
Take down those photographs
Repeating the request to remove reminders of past relationships
I need to know what's passed is passed, oh
Repeating the need to move forward and let go of the past
Tell me I'm the only one, that your two-timing days are done
Reiterating the request for exclusive commitment and the end of infidelity
That you have had your fun
Desiring confirmation that the partner has had their share of enjoyment
