Photographs

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I don't need nerves of steel I can resist a gentle tease If it's a test, I can be tough If it's a bluff, I'm not impressed You closed the books, I'm off the hook You left the stress, I kept the mess I must confess, I have no fear But neither the guts, my dear [Chorus] I picture your photographs I'm dying here and I don't know why I picture the pose you held The blush you felt, but I won't ask why I picture you somewhere else The story ends, but I don't know how If only the timing had been right [Verse 2] I'm backing up my favourite shots It's not a lot, but all I got Give me a scheme, 'cause as it seems I'm running out of good ideas I'm risk averse, I don't jump first I'm taking note of each alert So no more loss, I'll let it go I'll take things nice and slow [Chorus] I picture your photographs I'm dying here and I don't know why I picture the pose you held The blush you felt, but I won't ask why I picture you somewhere else The story ends, but I don't know how If only the timing had been right [Bridge] You cut me out, you cut me out You cut me out, you cut me out You cut me out, you cut me out You cut me out, you cut me out You cut me out, you cut me out You cut me out, you cut me out [Chorus] I picture your photographs I'm dying here and I don't know why I picture the pose you held The blush you felt, but I won't ask why I picture you somewhere else The story ends, but I don't know how If only the timing had been right
