I captured her because she wouldn't capture herself
Locks of brunette down her back,
Eyes to the camera
As I was having a heart attack from climbing the long wind
Of a path that drew in leaving no room to clown around
Sing and dance to our hearts content and god knows,
I wish we did that more.

I captured her because she captured me
From when I was blonde to a red she can only recognise
As we lied to our parents about having no friends
And to the briskness of the cold that burdened my skin on the way back
Celebrating a year of meeting in these conditions.
I'm still not able to shut up about her.

I captured her because she captured the moment so well
The stacked up houses that could've fell at a single gush of love,
The books that hadn't been as strong in my bounds of clumsiness
It feels so good not to have to whisper anymore
Even if she makes the world go quiet.
I captured her so I can live in that world for as long as she'll let me.
