I am much taller in person
Than I am on your screen.
They say that the camera puts on ten pounds
But the images in my memory weigh a tonne.
A picture of you paints a thousand words
In a language I struggle to understand.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder
Unless you've left your heart behind.

I am much taller in person
Than I am on your screen.
They say that the camera puts on ten pounds
But the images in my memory weigh a tonne.
A picture of you paints a thousand words
In a language I struggle to understand.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder
Unless you've left your heart behind.
