Photograph

A stranger’s photograph

You were picture perfect inside the frame

You stood there glowing

Your smile was gleaming

Your eyes told me all I knew

A stranger now but never more

Love sick but you are the cure

Love speaks

Through a photograph

our eyes meet

Unknown hearts

sync their beat

No longer alone

I find out who you are

We exchange numbers with our friends

The moment I saw you

We connected instantly

Life would never be the same

A friend now and ever more

Love sick but you are the cure

Love speaks

Through a photograph

our eyes meet

Unknown hearts

sync their beat

No longer alone

Now I am dating you

I hold you hand walking down the street

I can’t believe my luck

Heads begin to turn

I’m luckiest man alive

A lover now and never more

Love sick and you are the cure

Love speaks

Through a photograph

our eyes meet

Unknown hearts

sync their beat

No longer alone

Come out of the shadows

Always behind

Never in front

Always afraid

Don’t be so blunt

Try as they may

To push me back

Trying to climb

No holding back

Chorus

Come out of the shadows

Come into the light

No longer in the background

Try as they might

It’s your time to shine

Your dreams in sight

Come out of the shadows

You are now the light

Always bottom

Never on top

Always the side

A simple prop

Try to adjust

Try to be clear

Thrive for the best

Live without fear

Bridge

As darkness approaches and the light is fading

Reach inside and allow the torch to shine

Reconnect

I saw you standing there

Perfect in the frame

The sun lighting up your golden locks

A smile is all it took

Our eyes met briefly

If only I could turn back all the clocks

Too many questions

Not enough answers

Feelings that I had returning back

Too scared to ask you

Knowing the reply

Believing you’re on a different track

Tried to stay away

At times it was hard

Just a simple message to say hello

You were the right one

The timing was wrong

Too fast, I should have taken it slow

Mistakes I did make

I’m not going to lie

I just wanted it to be perfect

Hoping that one day

Maybe given time

We will have the chance to reconnect
