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
 Just a moment in time that you can't have back
 You never left, but your bags were packed
 Just in case
 My favorite picture of you
 Is bent and it's faded
 And it's pinned to my wall
 
 Oh, and you were so angry
 That it's hard to believe that we were lovers at all
 There's a fire in your eyes, your heart's 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
 ♪
 And your arms are crossed
 And your fists are clenched
 Not gone, but going
 A stand-up angel who won't back down
 Nobody's fool and nobody's clown
 You were smarter than that
 My favorite picture of you
 Is the one where
 It hasn't rained yet
 And as I recall
 There came a winter squall
 And we got soaking wet
 
 A thousand words in the blink of an eye
 The camera loves you and so do I click
 
 My favorite picture of you
 Is the one where you're staring
 Straight into the lens
