lyrics

Don't pose for the picture
I like the way you look
With that distant smile
I hope that you would stay the same
That knowing girl
who'd rather stay and read all day

Swept back all black
like an old photograph
With an expression so mild that it takes me back
Love so lorn yet love so sweet
It kept me up all night I could not sleep

Picture picture
Don't lie to me
To freeze a day that was never that way
Photo photo
you've had your laugh now take it all back

Don't pose for the picture
It looks so bad
To stand so still when you know it's not like that
I had my chance
I squandered it away all in one day

Cryptic eyes do you ever lie
Your gaze pierces through me
That you make me want to
Up and down the western wall
We're on the edge I hope that we fall

Picture picture
Don't lie to me
To freeze a day that was never that way
Photo photo
you've had your laugh now take it all back
