Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Take a picture to remember this by
You'll never hold all the details in your mind
Fillin' your head with superfluous facts
Pushin' out what you're never gettin' back
[Verse 2]
'Cause all we've got is a version of the truth
A recollection that is often misconstrued
Sergeant Pepper with the faces of friends
But the names all elude you in the end
[Chorus]
Kiss me just this one last time
Tell me that you once were mine
[Verse 3]
Take a picture to remember me by
To show everybody who you left behind
The near miss that almost shot you out the blue
And I was a city you were only passing through
[Verse 4]
And all that's left is a version of events
Favorably framed for the sake of self-defense
We barely notice as the pages disappear
Floating off into another year
[Chorus]
Kiss me just this one last time
Tell me that you once were mine
Kiss me just this one last time
Show me that your love was mine
[Instrumental]
Kiss me just this one last time
Tell me that you once were mine
Kiss me just this one last time
Show me that your love was mine
