my favorite picture of you

my favorite picture of you

is the one where you're staring

straight into the lens

it's just a polaroid shot

someone took on the spot

no beginning no end

just a moment in time

you can't have back

you never left but your bags were packed

just in case

my favorite picture of you

is bent and it's faded

and it's pinned to my wall

oh

and you were so angry

but it's hard to believe

that we were lovers at all

there's a fire in your eyes

your heart's on your sleeve

a curse on your lips

but all i can see

is beautiful

my favorite picture of you

is the one where

your wings are showing

and your arms are crossed

and your fists are clenched

not gone but going

stand up angel

who won't back down

nobody's fool

nobody's clown

you were smarter than that

my favorite picture of you

is the one where

it hasn't rained yet

and as i recall

there came a winter squall

and we got soaking wet

a thousand words

in the blink of an eye

the camera loves you and so do i

click

my favorite picture of you

is the one where you're staring

straight into the lens
