[Verse 1]
I took your picture
I felt my heartbeat slow down
It's hard to miss you
'Cause you're the one thing moving in the background

[Pre-Chorus]
I bite my tongue shut all through the thick of it
My lips are numb, when I choke my teeth will fit
I've got this problem and I'm trying to tell you
I watch the photographs fading away

[Chorus]
Close to someone's reject
Long play is the enemy
Close to someone's reject
Hope it's not the end of me

[Hook]
Tinge of blue (Close to someone's reject)
To the end (Long play is the enemy)
Left our hearts (Close to someone's reject)
With regret, I'm learning

[Verse 2]
I took your picture
I saw the light shine on you
But I can't fix it
Think I knew by now it's all that we do
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm running out of ways to get to the truth of it
Our time is nothing and it slips through our fingertips
I saw it coming and I tried to tell you
I took the photograph and threw it away

[Chorus]
Close to someone's reject
Long play is the enemy
Close to someone's reject
Hope it's not the end of me
Close to someone's reject
Long play is the enemy
Close to someone's reject

[Hook]
Tinge of blue (Close to someone's reject)
To the end (Long play is the enemy)
Left our hearts (Close to someone's reject)
With regret, I'm learning
Tinge of blue (Close to someone's reject)
To the end (Long play is the enemy)
Left our hearts (Close to someone's reject)
With regret, I'm learning
