My Favorite Picture of You

[Verse 1]

My favorite picture of you

Is the one where you're staring

Straight into the lens

It's just a Polaroid shot

Someone took on the spot

No beginning, no end

Just a moment in time that you can't have back

You never left but your bags were packed

Just in case

[Verse 2]

My favorite picture of you

Is bent and it's faded

And it's pinned to my wall

Oh, and you were so angry

That it's hard to believe

That we were lovers at all

There's a fire in your eyes, your heart's on your sleeve

A curse on your lips, but all I can see is beautiful

[Verse 3]

My favorite picture of you

Is the one where

Your wings are showing

And your arms are crossed

And your fists are clenched

Not gone, but going

A stand-up angel who won't back down

Nobody's fool and nobody's clown

You were smarter than that

[Verse 4]

My favorite picture of you

Is the one where

It hasn't rained yet

And as I recall

There came a winter squall

And we got soaking wet

A thousand words in the blink of an eye

The camera loves you and so do I

Click

[Outro]

My favorite picture of you

Is the one where you're staring

Straight into the lens
