Pictures of You (Live in Michigan)

[Verse 1]

I've been looking so long at these pictures of you

That I almost believe that they're real

I've been living so long with my pictures of you

That I almost believe that the pictures are all I can feel

[Verse 2]

Remembering you standing quiet in the rain

As I ran to your heart to be near

And we kissed as the sky fell in, holding you close

How I always held close in your fear

[Verse 3]

Remembering you running soft through the night

You were bigger and brighter and wider than snow

And screamed at the make-believe, screamed at the sky

And you finally found all your courage to let it all go

[Verse 4]

Remembering you fallen into my arms

Crying for the death of your heart

You were stone white, so delicate, lost in the cold

You were always so lost in the dark

[Verse 5]

Remembering you how you used to be

Slow drowned, you were angels, so much more than everything

Hold for the last time then slip away quietly

Open my eyes, but I never see anything

[Chorus 1]

If only I'd thought of the right words

I could have held on to your heart

If only I'd thought of the right words

I wouldn't be breaking apart all my pictures of you

[Verse 6]

Looking so long at these pictures of you

But I never hold on to your heart

Looking so long for the words to be true

But always just breaking apart my pictures of you

[Chorus 2]

There was nothing in the world that I ever wanted more

Than to feel you deep in my heart

There was nothing in the world that I ever wanted more

Than to never feel the breaking apart all my pictures of you
