Photograph

Loving can hurt
Loving can hurt sometimes
But it’s the only thing that I know
When it gets hard
You know it can get hard sometimes
It is the only thing that makes us feel alive

We keep this love in a photograph
We make these memories for ourselves
Where our eyes are never closing
Hearts are never broken
Time’s forever frozen still

So you can keep me inside the pocket of your ripped jeans
Holding me closer till our eyes meet
You won’t ever be alone
Wait for me to come home

Loving can heal
Loving can mend your soul
And it’s the only thing that I know
I swear it will get easier
Remember that with every piece of you
Hmm, it’s the only thing we take with us when we die

We keep this love in a photograph
We make these memories for ourselves
Where our eyes are never closing
Hearts are never broken
Time’s forever frozen still

So you can keep me inside the pocket of your ripped jeans
Holding me closer till our eyes meet
You won’t ever be alone
And if you hurt me, well that’s okay baby only words bleed inside these pages
You just hold me
I won’t ever let you go
Wait for me to come home
Wait for me to come home
Wait for me to come home
Wait for me to come home

So you can fit me inside the necklace you got when your sixteen
Next to your heartbeat where I should be
Keep it deep within your soul
And if you hurt me, well that’s okay baby only words bleed inside these pages
You just hold me
I won’t ever let you go

When I’m away
I will remember how you kissed me
Under the lamppost back on Sixth Street
Hearing you whisper through the phone
Wait for me to come home.
