Film Strip Lyrics by Meri Amber

Retro Sherbet

2016

[Verse 1]
You shot me down (shot me down)
Aimed with your lens (aimed with your lens)
I had a slight glisten of our future right then
Just a peep (just a peep)
Barely that (barely that)
The reflection in your eyes
Of how the memories would come back
And we’d wait at the photo store hours at a time
Half the film would be rubbish and hardly worth the while
[Chorus]
We were one shot, one time, film strip lovers
We kept one shot, one time, film strips forever
We lived one shot, one time, film strip daydreams
Through our one shot, one time, film strip memories
[Verse 2]
You took me 'round (you took me 'round)
We saw the world (we saw the world)
We captured it in the freeze frames
Of our hungry, loved-up minds
You filled those snaps (filled those snaps)
Of my life (of my life)
With so many stories, already myths
Re-written a hundred million times
And we’d wait at the photo store, hours at a time
For the photo lady to lock away just a second of our lives
[Chorus]
We were one shot, one time, film strip lovers
We kept one shot, one time, film strips forever
We lived one shot, one time, film strip daydreams
Through our one shot, one time, film strip memories
[Outro]
Oh, oh
Through our one shot, one time, film strip memories
