Shutter Lyrics by FairShare

Bad Famma Jamma

2016

[Chorus]
I want to blink like a shutter
Blink like a shutter
Stop time like a photograph
Appreciate the things that pass
By in an instant
Minute after minute
Every day. Give me a way
To make the good things stay

[Verse 1]
It happens every time one of mine
Breaks the seal on some new deal
Landmark, milestone ­­ always prone
To look for one more stride from home
Progress, bigger shoes
New wheels, faster meals
Excitement in the eyes of the speed demon
Make tracks, blow steam, and then scream freedom
New rewards for days, months, years survived
Alive, and pointed straight ahead to old wishes
Fewer riches, piles of dirty dishes
Any given day's the same
But you always know
So slow to young eyes but surprise ­­
Where did the time go?

Where did the time go?
Where did the time go?

[Chorus]
I want to blink like a shutter
Blink like a shutter
Stop time like a photograph
Appreciate the things that pass
By in an instant
Minute after minute
Every day. Give me a way
To make the good things stay

[Verse 2: Dustinfool]
Flashing by, my life is
But this moment is so timeless
Trying to live while I’m alive
And make this time worth passing by ‘cause
I remember where I was
Doing what I love
Filling up my membrane
With things that are worth remembering
I wish time would just stop
But the seconds keeping moving
Living my life through snapshots
Fun things that I’m doing
I’m using all of my focus so I can live my life in color
And I always put it down like a finger on a shutter
I need a little time stamp
A way to look back
I need a way to document this no look path
You need a new lens, a new look, a new light (all right)
You got two eyes, open wide, open mind (damn right)

A new lens, a new look, a new light (all right)
You got two eyes, open wide, open mind (damn right)

[Chorus]
I want to blink like a shutter
Blink like a shutter
Stop time like a photograph
Appreciate the things that pass
By in an instant
Minute after minute
Every day. Give me a way
To make the good things stay

[Verse 3]
Hard to break the shell and get the juice of everyday
Wake up, get dressed, nothing makes you say hey
Sinister minutes blur into hours while you pay no mind
Trying to find your keys before the stores close (Time goes by)
Another day lived among your faves, nothing saved or savored
Well you paid a few bills but you tasted no flavor
That's the treachery we lose to
Losing moments as breaths ‘cause we're used to
(Because we’re used to)
So let me blink like a shutter
Sing it like a stutter, like a refrain
Go ahead and sing it again
So let time fly, I'll take notes, keep it on the up high
No gentle good night, I'll take a strobe light ­­
Light up and freeze my time

Before it slides right by
Before it slides right by

[Chorus]
I want to blink like a shutter
Blink like a shutter
Stop time like a photograph
Appreciate the things that pass
By in an instant
Minute after minute
Every day. Give me a way
To make the good things stay
