Pictures of Us

Pictures of me
Barely up to your knee
Age of curiosity
Just learning to speak

Photos of me
In a land of make believe
Tugging your sleeve
Just learning to read

With every color change
As you turn, brown to grey
You only get wiser
In your golden age
That's your best shade

My, oh my
How the time flies?
Someone, pause the timeline (ah)

Why, oh why
Does our mind pine?
Someone, hit the rewind

Images of me
You in the passenger seat
In my mid-teens
Just learning to be

Tapings of me
Couldn't wait to leave
What you couldn't see
Sometimes, I wish I was still
In the backseat

With every color change
As you turn, brown to grey
You only get wiser
In your golden age
That's your best shade

My, oh my
How the time flies?
Someone, pause the timeline (ah)

Why, oh why
Does our mind pine?
Someone, hit the rewind

When they shoved me in the mud
And threw their stones
Declared me an outcast
On our drive home
You pulled out a knife
Whispered words of kindness
Brought tears to my eyes

But you didn't know
Didn't let you see
Didn't want you
Worrying about me

My, oh my
Where does the time
Disappears into dust?
Until there's nothing but
What once was
And what was once
Pictures of us
