lyrics

In a windowed room, where things had gone astray, I aimed my uncovered lens. And captured your stillness, in a frame. And you'll never see your face again. I'll add the caption. I'll have you say things you would not. I'll call you captive. I will put words into your mouth. Smile, smile, it's a picture. I don't care if it's awful. Smile, smile, it's a picture. It just lasts forever. In a borrowed book, I won't keep you in a frame. ‘Til the day when mistake leads you awry. And some brand new Dan finds your orphaned face, and it's all he'll ever know you by. Chorus again.
