Lyrics
Pepper
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.
Take a picture to remember this by
You’ll never hold all the details in your mind
Fillin’ your head with superfluous facts
Pushin’ out what you’re never getting back
And all that’s left is a version of the truth
A recollection that is often misconstrued
Sergeant pepper with the faces of friends
But the names all elude you in the end
Kiss me just this one last time
Tell me that you once were mine
Take a picture to remember me by
To show everybody who you left behind
The near miss that almost shot you out of the blue
I was a city you were only passing through
And all that’s left is a version of events
Favorably framed for the sake of self-defense
We barely notice as the pages disappear
Floating off into another year
Kiss me just this one last time
Tell me that you once were mine
Kiss me just this one last time
Show me that your love was mine
