My Favorite Picture Of You

(album: It's About Time - 2018)

My favorite picture of you
Is one where you're staring
Straight into the lens
It's just a Polaroid shot
Someone took on the spot
No beginning, no end
Moment in time
You can't have it back
You never left
But your bags were packed
Just in case

My favorite picture of you
It's worn and it's tattered
And it's pinned to my wall
You were so angry then
It's hard to believe
We were lovers at all
A fire in your eyes
Heart's on your sleeve
A curse on your lips
But all I could see was beautiful

My favorite picture of you
Is the one where your wings are showing
Your arms are crossed, your fists are clinched
Gone but not going
A stand up angel who won't back down
Nobody's fool and nobody's clown
Smarter than that

My favorite picture of you
Is one where it hasn't quite rained yet
But as I recall there came a summer squall
We got soaking wet
A thousand words in the blink of an eye
The camera loves you, so do I
Click

My favorite picture of you
Is one where you're staring
Straight into the lens
