“The Picture We Picked” lyrics
You look happy in the picture
You were leaning on my knee
I remember that whole summer
Like you wanted to be seen
I kept it by the dashboard
Till the sunlight washed it green
The picture we picked
Leaves the hard part out
The picture we picked
Never makes a sound
I was tired in that picture
We had argued in the car
I was leaning so the camera
Wouldn't catch us far apart
You remember where we went to
I remember getting home
The picture we picked
Leaves the hard part out
The picture we picked
Never makes a sound
We don't have to burn the picture
We don't have to call it proof
We can put it in a drawer now
With the rest of what was true
The picture we picked
Leaves the hard part out
The picture we picked
Never makes a sound
The picture we picked
Wasn't all we were
