If I could speak to your photos
I'd know you better now
I wouldn't be feeling so low
Wouldn't be standing beneath this cloud
If your pictures could hold me
Maybe I could fall asleep
Writing our life story
Only in my dreams

I just need you here
To hold all my fears
And tuck my last sins way
I can't stand to wait another day
I know I'll find some other way
To know what I need to say
I know someday you'll see
You were always meant for me

If your pictures kept me warm
Like the smile that still remains
I could stand another storm
Let it wash away the pain
If you smiled as much as the albums did
I could light up the dark
If you saw the world with one light kiss
I know you'd feel the spark

I just need to feel you
So life won't try to steal you
I just need to give you back
Everything lost in the attack
I need to see you happy again
So we can finally make this end

If you were your photos
Always in my head
Then god only knows
What you would think of me then
Don't know if you ever had
Someone like me
That loves to make you happy
Lost inside your sea

As long as I have your photos
We will never be apart
If you'll ever speak I don't know
But I'm here when you're ready for my heart
