lyrics

We were together when people still printed their photos
And I hate that as I think about it now
I've never thought to trash them
Cause I do not feel angry but somehow
It feels like a burden
To have to be the one to keep them around
I wish you'd have taken some of them
But I guess it's just as well

Yesterday I went looking
For a book I hadn't finished
I couldn't quite remember this one line
And the thought would not relinquish
And in a box under the stairs
That's where it was found
And when I opened it up
A photograph fell out
Of us laughing on a camping trip
I hadn't thought of that 'til now

But it all comes back into focus
Just sitting by the fire
Laughing until the night turned out it's lights
It was so dark in that tent that I couldn't see my hands
So peaceful
No movement
No motion
Nothing but sound

And the night slowly buzzing like a light
That hadn't thought of burning out

We were together when people still printed their photos
And I hate that as I think about it now
