lyrics
I used to have a Polaroid camera
I took it with me everywhere
I used to take pictures of people
So they'd remember I was there
With my forefinger on the flash
A little light got past
But the color of my blood
Cast a shade of red on everyone
I used to be a different person
I wanted something different then
I wanted everybody to like me
No matter what I thought of them
I wanted to connect on a feeling
But I felt different every day
I made a language that I didn't believe in
And wondered why I couldn't explain
With my eyes focused on the past
Portraits piled up in stacks
Faces that I barely knew
Trying to let a little more light through
Filtered friends through a soft lens
With an aperture locked and automatic
Kept them where the light bent
Frozen in poses
Encased in plastic
But they always knew when a camera was in the room
And they always found their way
Back into the center of the frame
I used to have a Polaroid camera
I took it with me everywhere
I used to take pictures of people
So they'd remember I was there.
A real gift to those
given the enormous task
of condensing him. 😉
