My Favorite Picture of You
[Verse 1]
My favorite picture of you is the one where you're staring
Straight into the lens
Just a Polaroid shot someone took on the spot
No beginning, no end
It's just a moment in time, you can't have back
You never left, but your bags were packed
Just in case

[Verse 2]
My favorite picture of you is bent and it's faded
And it's pinned to my wall
Oh, and you were so angry
It's hard to believe we were lovers at all
There's a fire in your eyes, you've got your heart on your sleeve
Curse on your lips, but all I can see
Is beautiful

[Verse 3]
My favorite picture of you
Is the one where your wings are showing
Oh, and your arms are crossed
Your fists are clenched, not gone, but going
Oh, a stand up angel who won't back down
Nobody's fool, nobody's clown
You were smarter than that
[Verse 4]
My favorite picture of you
Is one where it hasn't rained yet
Oh, and as I recall, there came a winter squall
And we got soaking wet
A thousand words in the blink of an eye
The camera loves you, and so do I
Click

[Outro]
My favorite picture of you
Is one where you're staring straight into the lens
