James Murphy - Photographs lyrics

Memories fade and stories can change But it's real if seen in photographs See the way you smile It's been a long, long while Since the way you seemed in these photographs Everywhere I go I sit and eat alone And think of your smile Haven't seen it in a while Like the day when we took those photographs We all cause some pain So don't be ashamed of yourself now I'll be alright it's such a long life And I still have most of our photographs And I'm the one who most All these ways you've come from harm And the places you patronized me Right from the start – it's life A phone at night to check I'm alright But it's clear all I need are these photographs Every night at home I fumble through these picture books And smile at both the happy looks We have on our faces in these photographs
