Matt Nathanson - Pictures lyrics
[Matt Nathanson - Pictures lyrics]
When you’re young you got time
When you’re old, you’ve built a life
In between you’re just along for the ride
Nothing’s in a straight line
Like the wrinkles on your eyes
Try to take it one candle at a time
When we turn 96 with a smile on our lips
I’ll have nothing left to wish
Cause people paint pictures of
Places like this
People they daydream of the life that we live
People they see darkness and
Light as opposite sides
But, you and i know they’re the same
When you’re young you got time
When you’re old, you’ve built a life
In between you’re just along for the ride
Nothing’s in a straight line
Like the wrinkles on your eyes
Try to take it one candle at a time
When we turn 96 with a smile on our lips
I’ll have nothing left to wish
Cause people paint pictures of
Places like this
People they daydream of the life that we live
People they see darkness and
Light as opposite sides
But, you and i know they’re the same
We’ll dance in the sun til
The warm evening comes
Then we’ll dance by the light of the moon
We’ll follow the thread
Sing the songs in our heads
Until all of our best dreams come true
When you’re young you got time
When you’re old, you’ve built a life
In between you’re just along for the ride
Nothing’s in a straight line
Like the wrinkles on your eyes
Try to take it one candle at a time
When we turn 96 with a smile on our lips
I’ll have nothing left to wish
When you’re old, you’ve built a life
In between you’re just along for the ride
Nothing’s in a straight line
Like the wrinkles on your eyes
Try to take it one candle at a time
When we turn 96 with a smile on our lips
I’ll have nothing left to wish
Cause people paint pictures of
Places like this
People they daydream of the life that we live
People they see darkness and
Light as opposite sides
But, you and i know they’re the same
When you’re young you got time
When you’re old, you’ve built a life
In between you’re just along for the ride
Nothing’s in a straight line
Like the wrinkles on your eyes
Try to take it one candle at a time
When we turn 96 with a smile on our lips
I’ll have nothing left to wish
Cause people paint pictures of
Places like this
People they daydream of the life that we live
People they see darkness and
Light as opposite sides
But, you and i know they’re the same
We’ll dance in the sun til
The warm evening comes
Then we’ll dance by the light of the moon
We’ll follow the thread
Sing the songs in our heads
Until all of our best dreams come true
When you’re young you got time
When you’re old, you’ve built a life
In between you’re just along for the ride
Nothing’s in a straight line
Like the wrinkles on your eyes
Try to take it one candle at a time
When we turn 96 with a smile on our lips
I’ll have nothing left to wish
