Lyrics
When It's Memories
Verse:
Our love is a black and white photograph
Time has faded to yellow and brown
Covered in dust edges all curled up
Spillin out from an album, that's no longer bound
Verse:
Climbin' up my stairs is a big picture show
Frames from the past every size and shape
Though the story for each feels a bit out of reach
I still look at them often it's an easy escape
Chorus:
THESE FEELINGS KEEP LEADING MY HEART ASTRAY
KISSES GIVEN TO THE WIND THAT DRIFT AWAY
OUR PASSION ISN'T BURNIN' LIKE IT DID IN THE PAST
WHEN IT'S MEMORIES WE'RE FEELIN" OUR LOVE WON'T LAST
WHEN IT'S MEMORIES WE'RE LIVIN' OUR LOVE WON'T LAST
Interlude=intro line
Verse:
I called you up at work last Friday afternoon
Maybe come home early have a little escape
You were nice as could be invoked the same litany
There's just too much to do so I gotta work late
CHORUS
Bridge:
Its hard to notice a big tree growin'
'Till the day it blocks out the sky
The same is true with love's blood flowin'
It slows to a trickle just before it dies
Verse:
We no longer take those loving photographs
The camera's sitting lonely on a closet shelf
We're slowly carving out our love's epitaph
The only picture taken lately is of me and myself
CHORUS
Outro:
Won't last
Won't last
