lyrics

The last time I saw you, you were glowing
You had all your shiny teeth showing
You laughed at every word I said to you
You stole my heart and you know it

You held up a Polaroid camera
You said it would help me remember
I still keep it tacked up in the corner of my mirror
When I need to see somebody glowing

It’s too short
It’s too short
Photographs, memories
Loves that live in me
They’re too small
They’re too short

I’m alone and I’m thinking
How all of the birds could be people
The cardinal that circles the yard
The tourists flap their towels at the seagulls

Wherever you pointed your camera
Whatever you put down in words
Could never come close to your likeness
It just falls short
