Lyrics

Snapshot Mary

Snapshot memory rests precariously still
Beside a dusty bible
Kitchen table shelf formica
Sip my silent coffee
Feel your stare upon me
From your gown of wedding white
Timeless in the Kodak light

Can?t you see what I can see?
Can?t you see there?s just you and there?s just me?

Snapshot memory, you?re not alone with me
Goodwill sofa, urban forest
Buried deep, apartment storage
Check your words for me
Marry carefully
See me when you think you like
Almost like you were my wife

Can?t you see what I can see?
Can?t you see there?s just you and there?s just me?

You can dream about it, I?ll just live without it
Looking back for you must still not feel so great.
Rearrange our happy home, redesign my life alone
Looking back for me, it still might be too late.

Can?t you see what I can see?
Can?t you see there?s just you and there?s just me?

Snapshot memory, still the way I see
Union not quiet meant to last
Fading image float on past
Check your words for me
Mary carefully
See me if you think you like
Half the time you?re still my wife

You can dream about it, I?ll just live without it
Looking back for you must still not feel so great.
Rearrange our happy home, redesign my life alone
Looking back for me, it still might be too late.
