Like a Photograph Lyrics by Yola

Stand For Myself

2021

[Verse 1]
Whoever said life was like a river
That was gonna roll on forever
Had to have been
Out of their mind
[Verse 2]
If I ever waste another minute
Simply for refusing to be in it
Show me back in
Rain or come shine
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me softly that you’d love to lay by my side
No delay just in case we run out of time
[Chorus]
Hold me close just like a photograph
Hoping it will last
Soon enough it’s gonna be the past
It’s coming fast
[Instrumental Verse]
[Pre-Chorus]
All I want is you to hear the sound of my voice
Once you hear me I fear you’ll be left with no choice
[Chorus]
Won’t you hold me close just like a photograph
Hoping it will last
Because soon enough it’s gonna be the past
It’s coming fast
[Outro]
Whoever said life was like a river
That was gonna roll on forever
Whoever said life was like a river
That was gonna roll on forever
Whoever said life was like a river
That was gonna roll on forever
Whoever said life was like a river
That was gonna roll on forever
Whoever said life was like a river
That was gonna roll on forever
Whoever said life was like a river
That was gonna roll on forever
