PORTRAIT

(album: SLOWSHINE - 2019)

Try to believe
Try to be brave
Try to sleep it suffocates

Skim a spine, a book of art
Let's paint a portrait
Of exactly where we are

Sketching you out the colours picked
The brush is wet we go for it
On the page I start to see
I'll paint a portrait of where else we could be

Only leave one mark
Wonder what will come of us (Wait for it)
Moment, gather for a photo
Years are flying past (keep turning)
Only leave one mark
Wonder what will come of us (Wait for it)
Moment, gather for a photo
Frozen where we are (returning)

Tie my shoes
And say my grace
It's almost like a warm embrace
Falling short a fading spark
I'll wait a moment
For something new to start

Zooming in the focus sharp
The lens is set, the light goes dark
Scan the film I start to see
Took a portrait of where else we could be

Only leave one mark
Wonder what will come of us (Wait for it)
Moment, gather for a photo
Years are flying past (keep turning)
Only leave one mark
Wonder what will come of us (Wait for it)
Moment, gather for a photo
Frozen where we are (returning)

Hit your head upon the door
Slump back down against the wall
Lying cold, dazed on the floor
Imagine all the things you saw

They're looking down but you just breathe
Realise now, got to believe
'Cause looking up you start to see
All the places that you could be
