Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm writing you to catch you up on places I've been
And you held this letter
Probably got excited, but there's nothing else inside it
[Verse 2]
Didn't have a camera by my side this time
Hoping I would see the world through both my eyes
Maybe I will tell you all about it when
I'm in the mood to lose my way with words
[Verse 3]
Today, skies are painted colors of a cowboy cliché
And strange how clouds that look like mountains in the sky
Are next to mountains anyway
[Verse 4]
Didn't have a camera by my side this time
Hoping I would see the world through both my eyes
Maybe I will tell you all about it when
I'm in the mood to lose my way but let me say
[Verse 5]
You should have seen that sunrise
With your own eyes
It brought me back to life
You'll be with me next time I go outside
No more 3x5s
[Verse 6]
Guess you had to be there
Guess you had to be with me
[Verse 7]
Oh, today I finally overcame
Trying to fit the world inside a picture frame
Maybe I will tell you all about it when
I'm in the mood to lose my way but let me say
[Verse 8]
You should have seen that sunrise
With your own eyes
It brought me back to life
You'll be with me next time I go outside
No more 3x5s
Just no more 3x5s
