Lyrics

The Picture

[Verse 1] You can't fail this time I'll be where you are Be afraid for me Be too good for me [Chorus] You look back at the picture And realise things then were different It's not who you know It's why you know them [Verse 2] Rest your weary head Close your heavy eyes This last drink's on me Your smile shines on me [Chorus] You look back at the picture And realise things then were different It's not who you know It's why you know them Look at the picture And realise things now are different It's not who you know It's why you know them Know them Know them (There's something about our blood tastes like copper) Know them (There's something about our blood tastes like copper) Know them (There's something about our blood tastes like copper) Know them (There's something about our blood tastes like copper) Know them (There's something about our blood tastes like copper) Know them
