Behind lyrics
by The Ocean Blue
Sorting through this mess I happen on your smile
Gleaming through a photograph buried for some while
I'm taken by the way the swagger captured there
Has vanished in the haze of time
And by a foolish whim I'm stricken with desire
To phone you up and tell you of my find
But as I stretch my hand
I'm reminded of the shape I'm in
From all the things you've left behind
Man, I hate your friends
They really bring me down
And I can tell your not yourself whenever they're
Around
So ditch this motley crew for all the world of me
And leave these sorry few behind
I hope that by some master plan you're in the same
Boat that I am
Waiting at a crossing path to seal away your life
To lock inside a sacred bond so tight
And like this photograph the scattered thoughts of you
Are frozen in the amber of my mind
And boxes on the shelf of doc*ments reminding me you
Left an empty shell behind
