My Favorite Picture of You
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

It's just a moment in time
You can't have back
You never left
But your bags were packed
Just in case

My favorite picture of you
Is bent and faded
And it's pinned to my wall
Oh and you were so angry
It's hard to believe
That we were lovers at all

There's a fire in your eyеs
You've got a heart on your sleeve
A cursе on your lips
But all that I can see
Is beautiful
My favorite picture of you
Is the one where your wings are showing
Oh and your arms are crossed
Your fists are clenched
Not gone but going

Just a standup angel
Who won't back down
Nobody's fool
Nobody's clown
You were smarter than that

My favorite picture of you
Is the one where it hasn't rained yet
Oh and as I recall
Came a winter squall
And we got soaking wet

It's a thousand words
In the blink of an eye
The camera loves you
And so do I
Click

My favorite picture of you
Is the one you're staring straight at the lens
