My Favorite Picture Of You

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

My favorite picture of you
Is bent and faded and it's pinned to my wall
Oh, and you were so angry
It's hard to believe we were lovers at all
There's a fire in your eyes
You've got your heart on your sleeve
A curse on your lips but all I can see
Is beautiful

My favorite picture of you
Is the one where your wings are showing
Oh, and your arms are crossed
Your fists are clenched
Not gone but going
Just a stand-up angel who won't back down
Nobody's fool, nobody's clown
You were smarter than that

My favorite picture of you
Is the one where it hasn't rained yet
Oh, and as I recall came a winter squall
And we got soaking wet
It's a thousand words in the blink of an eye
The camera loves you and so do I (click)
