A Picture of Us Smiling at a Party 5 Years Ago
We were drinking red wine,
We were both kind of red eyed,
I'm wearing a jacket I wouldn't wear these days,
And someone's going outside,
Or reaching for a lighter,
On the right side of the frame,
I musta been smiling for the camera,
Because I don't remember feeling good back then,
This is before we got pushed out 'cause
Someone bought the building and raised the rent,
I'm struck by our expression and how little it shows,
In this picture of us smiling at a party,
Five years ago,
Our shitty apartment,
A flash in the darkness,
Posing in a crowded room,
It all feels imagined, but
It musta happened,
'Cause I got the cold hard proof,
I think I was smiling for the camera,
Because I don't remember feeling much back then,
This is before we got pushed out 'cause
Someone bought the building and raised the rent,
I'm struck by our expression and how little it shows,
In this picture of us smiling at a party,
Five years ago,
I found it stuck between some pages,
I wasn't trying to save it,
But I didn't throw it away,
I musta been smiling for the camera,
Because I don't remember smiling much back then,
This is before we settled down,
And just got used to staying in,
I'm struck by our expression and everything we didn't know,
In this picture of us smiling at a party,
Five years ago
We were both kind of red eyed,
I'm wearing a jacket I wouldn't wear these days,
And someone's going outside,
Or reaching for a lighter,
On the right side of the frame,
I musta been smiling for the camera,
Because I don't remember feeling good back then,
This is before we got pushed out 'cause
Someone bought the building and raised the rent,
I'm struck by our expression and how little it shows,
In this picture of us smiling at a party,
Five years ago,
Our shitty apartment,
A flash in the darkness,
Posing in a crowded room,
It all feels imagined, but
It musta happened,
'Cause I got the cold hard proof,
I think I was smiling for the camera,
Because I don't remember feeling much back then,
This is before we got pushed out 'cause
Someone bought the building and raised the rent,
I'm struck by our expression and how little it shows,
In this picture of us smiling at a party,
Five years ago,
I found it stuck between some pages,
I wasn't trying to save it,
But I didn't throw it away,
I musta been smiling for the camera,
Because I don't remember smiling much back then,
This is before we settled down,
And just got used to staying in,
I'm struck by our expression and everything we didn't know,
In this picture of us smiling at a party,
Five years ago
