Picture of You

I got a picture of you

Made it in a foreign land

Wide spaces, and the sun, blazing high

Broke my heart, and my mind

The first goodbye, three years ago

Sun fading, and shorter days than nights

Where you at now? Why aren't you here at my doorstep?

All you left is a shadow, it's been here since you left

And when you left

I would opt for substitution

At least six months I've tried

I was willing but unable

Being pulled back into time

In my every imperfection

Couldn't put it any other way

Well I figured out, there's no way out

But I wish I didn't have to wait

I made a videotape too

It's shaky, but it's got the vibe

Of a true face, under a bluebird sky

Where you at now? Why aren't you here at my doorstep?

All you left is a shadow it's been here since you left

And when you left

I would opt for substitution

At least six months I've tried

I was willing but unable

Being pulled back into time

In my every imperfection

Couldn't put it any other way

Well I figured out, there's no way out

But I wish I didn't have to wait
