Still Photo Lyrics by John Wesley Harding

Still Photo Lyrics

    I saw you yesterday
    I couldn't let you be
    I had to sift through broken glass
    To find out if you missed me
    But all i found was a slow fade
    And a gift-wrapped box of band aids
    With a note that said "i'm never coming home"


    Beneath my single bed
    Everything's haphazard
    There's boxes full of bits of you
    And none of them are numbered
    And when i search, it's deja vu
    Things i think i knew
    I should have thrown away this time last year


    Everytime i touch you
    You move so slow
    And you're still like your photo


    I heard me yesterday
    Repeating my own name
    To convince myself
    That none of us had changed
    And now i'm walking round the grooves
    Of a record i lost when we moved
    There's dust and scratches mixed with all these tears


    Everytime i touch you
    You move so slow
    And you're still like your photo


    Should we throw it all away
    The failed long shots through far distant styles
    Those forced smiles, those forced smiles
    It started so on the mark
    But it missed by one million miles


    Nothing has developed
    This darkroom gets me down
    I'd throw on all the lights
    But i'm afraid you'd come around
    You're living in a limbo hell
    A life that's only parallel
    Is the real you aware what's going on?


    Everytime i touch you
    You move so slow
    And you're still like your photo
