Photograph

It's the evening light

Shining through the curtains

The time before the night

When everything is golden

You're sitting on the chair

Wrapped inside a bedsheet

Playing with your hair

Watching people on the high street

If I wished myself a superpower

I would make this moment last for hours

If I had my will, time would just stand still

Wait for me until I find some magic film

To take a photograph and live inside

The sun is going down

Your skin is like a painting

The light is perfect now

But I can feel it changing

Kids are probably soon

Don't get me wrong, I'm ready

But will I know what to do

When we're no longer two?

When us means more than me and you?

If I wished myself a superpower

I would make this moment last for hours

If I had my will, time would just stand still

Wait for me until I find some magic film

To take a photograph and live inside

I need some way to prove that this was real

A memory is not enough

I'm scared that I'll forget the way it feels

To be young and in love

Let me stay right here

Just a moment longer

The picture is so clear

Please, let this last forever
