Photographs Lyrics by Quiet Arrows

Behind the Breastbone

2022

[Verse 1]
I took a photograph
Of your hazel eyes
You tried so hard to hide
I promised not to laugh
And you promised twice
But we told each other lies
And with a faded map
Well we followed lines
Not sure just where or why
But after all of that
Oh searching blind
We knew our love was right

[Chorus 1]
Every morning I wake up
You’re still shaking up my mind babe
Every morning a dream without a shape
Every night I take down
All the pictures in my mind babe
Every night I put them back in frames
Hey hey hey hey

[Verse 2]
I took a photograph
Down by the sea
You tasted salty sweet
Under the waves and back
Well you moved so free
And I felt your quick heartbeat
The sun like shattered glass
It shone pure and clean
I felt you lying next to me
You put your face in my hand
I touched your cheek
How we were meant to be

[Chorus 2]
Every morning I wake up
You’re still shaking up my mind babe
Every morning a dream without a shape
Every night I take down
All the pictures in my mind babe
Every night I put them back in frames
All the moments that fade
Well I’m just trying to rewind babe
All the moments I hold evaporate
I remember our faces
In those Polaroid white frames
I remember us laughing as we’d shake
I remember us laughing at our graves
Hey hey hey hey

[Verse 3]
I took a photograph
Of you dancing wild
Distraction in your smile
Our bodies moving like that
Such a long long while
Felt like we were made of light
The satellites overhead
Were carving lines
Across the midnight sky
Kaleidoscope of our hands
Compressing time
We danced a thousand nights

[Bridge]
And I remember all the moments
Whispering your name
And I can picture how you slowly
Turned to me to say
How you remember all the years
Like they were only days
And how you hope that all those memories
Never fade away
Hey hey
Hey hey hey hey

[Refrain]
All the moments
All the moments trying to rewind babe
All the moments evaporate
Yeah I remember
I remember Polaroid white frames
I remember laughing as we’d shake
I remember laughing at our graves

[Chorus 2]
Every morning I wake up
You’re still shaking up my mind babe
Every morning a dream without a shape
Every night I take down
All the pictures in my mind babe
Every night I put them back in frames
All the moments that fade
Well I’m just trying to rewind babe
All the moments I hold evaporate
I remember our faces
In those Polaroid white frames
I remember us laughing as we’d shake
I remember us laughing at our graves
