Verse 1:
I saw your face in a picture frame
Turned around,

And the scene had changed
One fleeting vision come and gone
I boxed you in and tried to make it last

Spent my days living in the past
Why can't this river be a pond


Pre-Chorus 1:
Where the water portrays
An image so clear

Untouched by the waves
Unbroken by tears


Chorus:
My life in pictures
That's where I long to be

Everything's perfect
And the lighting's always right
My life in pictures

I'm watching the scenery
And somehow it's worth it
'Cause you're with me day and night

Oh, just look at the way
I pictured my life
Yeah look at the way

I pictured our life

Verse 2:

Holding onto a photograph
Wondering what it was
That made you laugh

Was it derision? I don't mind
'Cause in my head I told a joke
Made you smile with the words I spoke

Then we went walking for a while

Pre-Chorus 2:

Oh, then you took my hand
And said you would stay
I can almost believe

It happened that way

(Repeat Chorus)


Bridge:
They say a picture's worth a thousand words

Sometimes the words aren't true
And even though the camera doesn't lie
Why's it telling me

I belong with you?

(Repeat Chorus)
