Memories in a busted shoebox underneath my bed
Some words of a sweetness in pencil with dull lead
A picture of me with a smile that I'm not faking
I wish things were the way they are, when the picture was taken
When the picture was taken, oh yeah

Black and white slow motion flash back, a spin around the head
A vision in the night, me as a kid
I picture myself with a smile

And that will be the way
Snapshot home
Out in the ether heart beat
That will be the way I get home
Pounding the ether, machine gun hey hey

Milestone ticking time bomb, a fade to nothing more
Hope not to be forgotten, drawing off the shore
A vanishing man in the sand and I'm forsaken
I wish things were the way they are, when the picture was taken
When the picture was taken awwww

And that will be the way
Snapshot home
Out in the ether heart beat
That will be the way I get home
Pounding the ether, machine gun hey hey
And that will be the way
Snapshot home
Out in the ether heart beat
That will be the way I get home
Pounding the ether, machine gun hey hey

When the picture was taken
