The Photograph
Captured Memories: The Eternal Echo of Love in 'The Photograph'
Lyrics
Another west coast Saturday
Describing another Saturday on the west coast.
And the shore gives me a crash and it's gone
Reflecting on the transient nature of the shore's impact.
Just like the midnight getaway
Comparing a past experience to a midnight getaway.
When I ducked into a cabin, pushed on
Recalling a moment when the singer sought refuge in a cabin.
She had a pretty face silhouette
Describing a woman with an attractive silhouette.
And she told me that she liked how I kissed
Recalling a compliment about the singer's kissing ability.
What's the point, point anyway?
Raising questions about the significance of dreaming.
Dreaming of this
Expressing a desire for the dream-like experience.
'Cause it's gone, in the past
Acknowledging the fleeting nature of the past.
But we'll always be together in the photograph
Emphasizing the enduring connection through photographs.
Know our love didn't last
Recognizing that the love did not endure.
But we'll always be together in the photograph
Highlighting the lasting bond captured in photographs.
No, I won't forget all the things she said
Committing to remember the words and looks shared.
And the way she looked at me that night
Recalling a significant night and the way she looked.
'Cause it's stuck under glass
Symbolizing memories preserved as if under glass.
Yeah, we'll always be together in the photograph
Reiterating the everlasting connection in photographs.
Books on the bed frame, countertop
Describing items on the bed frame and countertop.
She had papers on the dresser and drawers
Depicting a woman's organized living space.
Still hear her 'don't you ever stop'
Recalling her encouragement to keep going.
We were laying in a room on the floor
Remembering a moment lying on the floor together.
She had a dark side underneath
Acknowledging a hidden, darker side of the woman.
But I never saw it peeking until
Realizing that the darker side was not evident initially.
Sometimes she dances through my thoughts
Noting her presence in the singer's thoughts.
But I know instead
Choosing to focus on the memories instead.
That it's gone, in the past
Reiterating the impermanence of the past.
But we'll always be together in the photograph
Stressing the enduring connection through photographs.
Know our love didn't last
Acknowledging that the love did not endure.
But we'll always be together in the photograph
Emphasizing the lasting bond captured in photographs.
No, I won't forget all the things she said
Committing to remember the words and looks shared.
And the way she looked at me that night
Recalling a significant night and the way she looked.
'Cause it's stuck under glass
Symbolizing memories preserved as if under glass.
Yeah, we'll always be together in the photograph
Reiterating the everlasting connection in photographs.
She's not the one, hey, woah
Admitting that she was not the one.
But I think about it now and then
Reflecting on occasional thoughts about her.
She's not the one, hey, woah
Repeating that she was not the one.
When I close my eyes I see her face
Visualizing her face when closing the eyes.
But still, I know she's not the one
Affirming the awareness that she is not the one.
I think about it now and then
Reflecting on occasional thoughts about her.
But it's gone, in the past
Reiterating the impermanence of the past.
But we'll always be together in the photograph
Stressing the enduring connection through photographs.
Know our love didn't last
Acknowledging that the love did not endure.
But we'll always be together in the photograph
Emphasizing the lasting bond captured in photographs.
No, I won't forget all the things she said
Committing to remember the words and looks shared.
And the way she looked at me that night
Recalling a significant night and the way she looked.
'Cause it's stuck under glass
Symbolizing memories preserved as if under glass.
Yeah, we'll always be together in the photograph
Reiterating the everlasting connection in photographs.
It's better like that
Expressing acceptance that it's better that way.
