Tommy took a picture where I'm noticeably younger
Skin a little softer
Slightly thinner frame
And contained between the corners, I knew nothing of my failures
Shortcomings were foreign
We danced through all our days
Saw the joy in just a moment
Joy is in the making
Joy is in the movement
Ever forward, ever to
So orient the portrait as a landscape composition, yeah
Turn it on its side
And see if it makes sense to you
Folded, framed and slightly faded
He said "I'll send another soon
For now just take this one and share it
I didn't take it just for you"
There's a spirit in the stairwell and a ghost in the casino
Putting numbers up on Monday nights to make their losses back
And I tried my fate with fortune
It was sold as such a sure thing
'Till the bottom fell right out
But I can learn to live with that
It was perfectly positioned, but we had to make adjustments
Had to sacrifice a flawless thing
To see the human side
If the chances that you're given don't quite add up to what you've envisioned, well
The worst thing that I ever did was to let a good shot die
Ana said that time is finite
Like a kitchen hourglass tattoo
And there's so much more than just catching the light right
So I stayed for more than just the view
I stayed for more than just the view
I stayed for more than just the view
I stayed for more than just the view
I stayed for more than just the view
Close-captured moments
Golden-hour greyscale bliss
One million ways to balance buildings on my fingertips
I spent a lifetime
Leaning into what I've missed
One million ways to balance buildings on my fingertips
