TOMMY TOOK A PICTURE

Signals Midwest

2

Tommy took a picture where I′m noticeably younger

Skin a little softer

Slightly thinner frame

And contained between the corners, I knew nothing of my failures

Shortcomings were foreign

We danced through all our days

Saw the joy in just a moment

Joy is in the making

Joy is in the movement

Ever forward, ever to

So orient the portrait as a landscape composition, yeah

Turn it on its side

And see if it makes sense to you

Folded, framed and slightly faded

He said "I'll send another soon

For now just take this one and share it

I didn′t take it just for you"

There's a spirit in the stairwell and a ghost in the casino

Putting numbers up on Monday nights to make their losses back

And I tried my fate with fortune

It was sold as such a sure thing

'Till the bottom fell right out

But I can learn to live with that

It was perfectly positioned, but we had to make adjustments

Had to sacrifice a flawless thing

To see the human side

If the chances that you′re given don′t quite add up to what you've envisioned, well

The worst thing that I ever did was to let a good shot die

Ana said that time is finite

Like a kitchen hourglass tattoo

And there′s so much more than just catching the light right

So I stayed for more than just the view

I stayed for more than just the view

I stayed for more than just the view

I stayed for more than just the view

I stayed for more than just the view

Close-captured moments

Golden-hour greyscale bliss

One million ways to balance buildings on my fingertips

I spent a lifetime

Leaning into what I've missed

One million ways to balance buildings on my fingertips
