Lyrics — Take the Picture

November 10th, 2008

Here are the lyrics for Take the Picture.

VERSE

I think the rain has stopped, the cherry blossoms dropped
Take a walk outside, and maybe go for a ride
Let’s throw the ball around, see the rocks that we found
I think we’ll be home soon, that big white ball is the moon

CHORUS A

Will you know that I was right there with you?
And do you know that I already miss you?
And please don’t forget that if I’m not in the scene
I was off to the side, someone had to take the picture

VERSE

The last bite is yours, we can’t go into that store
Let’s go sketch the lake, you want the pink cupcake
It’s already 10 to 8, look I cleaned my plate
I loved the breakfast in bed, mmm peanut butter on bread

CHORUS A

Will you know that I was right there with you?
And do you know that I already miss you?
And please don’t forget that if I’m not in the scene
I was off to the side, someone had to take the picture

CHORUS B

Give me a second and one more try
The light’s not right, please move to the side
If you could stay put for one with me
Everyone smile on the count of three
I just want a shot before the sun goes down
I need another battery, I’ll run into town
Hey check out the one that I just took
It’s perfect

VERSE

I’m a shark in the pool, drop you off at school
Another concert today, of course I saw you play
Alright I skipped that one, that concert wasn’t much fun
I admit, I confess, I swear I saw all the rest,

CHORUS A

Will you know that I was right there with you?
And do you know that I already miss you?
And please don’t forget that if I’m not in the scene
I was off to the side, someone had to take the picture

CHORUS B

Give me a second and one more try
The light’s not right, please move to the side
If you could stay put for one with me
Everyone smile on the count of three
I just want a shot before the sun goes down
I need another battery, I’ll run into town
Hey check out the one that I just took
It’s perfect
(It’s my favorite face, don’t give me that look)

    I started by reading the lyrics. They are perfect. The chorus made me cry. The first 2 lines say what every parent worries about and will some day have to say to their kids.
    Now I can’t see through my tears to find the link to the song.
