Dashboard Confessional
Carry This Picture
[Verse 1]
Carry this picture for luck
Kept in a locket, tucked in your collar, close to your chest
Make it a secret shown to the closest friends
And meet me at quarter to seven
The sun will still shine then at this time of year
We'll head to the inlet
And we'll share a bottle there

[Chorus]
And color the coast with your smile
It's the most genuine thing I've ever seen
I was so lost, but now I believe

[Verse 2]
And follow me south of the big docks
Where they tether the boats
The rich men revere as so important
They hire our fathers to steer
And down to the edge of the water
Where we'll spill our guts and we'll name our fears
I'll give you this picture
Keep it and don't be scared

[Chorus]
And color the coast with your smile
It's the most genuine thing I've ever seen
I was so lost, but now I believe in the coast
Your smile is the most genuine thing I've ever seen
I was so lost, but now I believe
[Outro]
Now I believe
Now I believe
Now I believe
