My Favorite Picture Of You

My favorite picture of you
 Is the one where you're staring
 Straight into the lens
 It's just a Polaroid shot
 Someone took on the spot
 No beginning, no end
 It's just a moment in time
 You can't have back
 You never left but your bags were packed
 Just in case
 My favorite picture of you
 Is bent and faded
 And it's pinned to my wall
 Oh, and you were so angry
 It's hard to believe
 We were lovers at all
 There's a fire in your eyes
 You've got your heart on your sleeve
 A curse on your lips, but all I can see
 Is beautiful
 My favorite picture of you
 Is the one where
 Your wings are showing
 Oh, and your arms are crossed
 Your fists are clenched
 Not gone but going
 Just a stand up angel
 Who won't back down
 Nobody's fool, nobody's clown
 You were smarter than that
 My favorite picture of you
 Is the one where
 It hasn't rained yet
 Oh and as I recall
 Came a winter squall
 And we got soaking wet
 It's a thousand words
 In the blink of an eye
 The camera loves you
 And so do I

 My favorite picture of you
