lyrics

The young boy leaps with his hands above his head
He’s left his shoes by the pillow on the bed
The clock reminds us he should be asleep by now
But his smile says that he’s dodged that one somehow

Within a minute and the picture starts to fade
The colours that were vivid once have started to degrade
I’m in a dark room where chemicals react
Developing a series of images that act

Like snapshots I’m capturing
They’re out of focus
Or was it timelapse?
Those snapshots I’m capturing
I can’t hold on to them
Slip through my fingers

The girl holds on to the rope with both hands
Her red dress billows out five feet above the sand
Joy and fear in equal measure on her face
She is an astronaut ascending into space

Before I know it and the picture starts to bleach
Overexposure has left it out of reach
I’m in a dark room where chemicals react
Developing a series of images that act

Like snapshots I’m capturing
They’re out of focus
Or was it timelapse?
Those snapshots I’m capturing
I can’t hold on to them
Slip through my fingers
