I don't believe I'd had a birthday yet
You're holding me and talking to someone else

A backyard afternoon
Forever in this frame
I keep you here
Caught as you look away

A camera can't lie and it won't defend
And then it tells everybody where you've been

A not yet shattered bliss
In the profile of your face
I keep you here
Caught as you look away

I wish I didn't know
A future long since told
The years we never saw you
Left a scar that you would always show
So before I'd learned to say
Such a lovely day
I keep you there
Caught as you look away
