Out of the Frame

In the coldest hour I saw a light
A glimpse before we came along to change your life
It was different then, and how much so
Enough to hide someone that we had barely known

We didn't think to ask
Or anticipate the lack when you

Were taking two steps back
Out of the frame (out of the frame)
Don't need a reminder until it's too late
When the kids grow up
I'll have to explain (have to explain)
How much of yourself you gave away

In a moment here
When the guard was down
The spark that I was looking for is finally found
But the story's still flecked with holes
Enough to leave a gap but not enough to hold
Can there really be so little documentary evidence?

We didn't think to ask
Or anticipate the lack when you

Were taking two steps back
Out of the frame (out of the frame)
Don't need a reminder until it's too late
When the kids grow up
I'll have to explain (have to explain)
How much of yourself you gave away

A hand for everyone
A hand for everyone
