take a photograph
|
and settle down
|
two and two, not as hard as it looks
|
better not to burn those books
|
you're not travelling on a beam of light
|
and you're not sitting around under house arrest
|
until you change your mind
|
not a blink
|
not a breath
|
not a sign (x4)
|
take a photograph
|
to remind you
|
of the things you know you will one day forget
|
take a side effect
|
as a measure of your progress
|
take what you give
|
and give what you take
|
and as you walk with your breath two feet in front of you in the cold
|
take a photograph, to have and to hold (x2)
|
take a photograph
