When The Booth Goes Bright

What do you see when the booth goes bright
In the blinding light
When the flash tries to find you
Every photo of every face
Is a time and place that you leave behind
There's the girl you were
There's your trip abroad
There's your father's smile
There's the face of God
There is everything that you were and you still wanna be
What do you see
When the booth goes bright
There's a girl from the factory
And she's on your knee
Though you've known her a week
And you're both so shy
But she makes you laugh
And that photograph when she kisses your cheek
There's when she said yes
There's the next ten years
There's the loneliness when she disappears
There's the face that you still remember
Though no longer
Where do you go
What happens when the booth goes bright
Where do you go when you're out of you
What's the use in trying to hide
Or tearing yourself in two
When you leave yourself behind
Every piece becomes another clue
Pull the curtain tight
And adjust the seat
Lean into the light
Don't forget to breathe
And if someday your travels should bring you to me
I'll see what you see
When the booth goes bright
When the booth goes bright
When the booth goes bright
