Take a Picture

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Flying kites

With boy wonder

Hold tight

To me all summer

Reading my magazines

Dancing in my blue jeans

Pucker up in sunglasses

Making love to the flashes

Posing the way that we do for everybody to see

Polaroid through your lashes

Only thing that will last is

I take a picture of you taking a picture of me

I take a picture of you taking a picture of me

I take a picture of you taking a picture of me

Tomorrow always happens too soon

I wish I had an electric moon

To save the light

Fireworks

And night streamers

Baby blue

With the day dreamers

Under water

Close to me

Hold my breath

In my blue jeans

Pucker up in sunglasses

Making love to the flashes

Posing the way that we do for everybody to see

Polaroid through your lashes

Only thing that will last is

I take a picture of you taking a picture of me

I take a picture of you taking a picture of me

I take a picture of you taking a picture of me

Tomorrow always happens too soon

I wish I had an electric moon

To save

I wanna live tonight

I wanna save the light

And we go and we go

I wanna live

We wanna live

I wanna live tonight

I wanna save the light

And it goes on and on and on

And we go on and on and on

I wanna live

We wanna live tonight

I take a picture of you taking a picture of me

Tonight

I take a picture of you taking a picture of me

Tomorrow always happens too soon

I wish I had an electric moon

To save the light
