Verse 1:
I saw your face in a picture frame
Turned around,
And the scene had changed
One fleeting vision come and gone
I boxed you in and tried to make it last
Spent my days living in the past
Why can't this river be a pond
Pre-Chorus 1:
Where the water portrays
An image so clear
Untouched by the waves
Unbroken by tears
Chorus:
My life in pictures
That's where I long to be
Everything's perfect
And the lighting's always right
My life in pictures
I'm watching the scenery
And somehow it's worth it
'Cause you're with me day and night
Oh, just look at the way
I pictured my life
Yeah look at the way
I pictured our life
Verse 2:
Holding onto a photograph
Wondering what it was
That made you laugh
Was it derision? I don't mind
'Cause in my head I told a joke
Made you smile with the words I spoke
Then we went walking for a while
Pre-Chorus 2:
Oh, then you took my hand
And said you would stay
I can almost believe
It happened that way
My life in pictures...
(Repeat Chorus)
Bridge:
They say a picture's worth a thousand words
Sometimes the words aren't true
And even though the camera doesn't lie
Why's it telling me
I belong with you?
Final Chorus:
My life in pictures
That's where I long to be
Everything's perfect
And the lighting's always right
My life in pictures
I'm watching the scenery
And somehow it's worth it
'Cause you're with me day and night
Coda:
Oh, but this ain't the way
I pictured my life
No, this ain't the way
I pictured our life
Look at the way
I pictured our life
