Photograph Smiley17: Nickelback
So this song isn't a complete reflection of my life, but it touched my nostalgic heart a bit. ;)
Look at this photograph
Every time I do it makes me laugh
How did our eyes get so red
And what the hell is on Joey’s head?
This is where I grew up
I think the present owner fixed it up
I never knew we ever went without
The second floor is hard for sneakin’ out
And this is where I went to school
Most of the time had better things to do
WRONG:Criminal record since I broke in twice
RIGHT:Criminal record SAYS i broke in twice
I must’ve done it half a dozen times
I wonder if it’s too late
Should I go back and try to graduate?
Life's better now than it was back then
If I was them I wouldn't let me in oh oh oh
Oh god I…
Every memory of lookin’ out the back door
I got the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It’s hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye
Every memory of walkin’ out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was lookin’ for
It’s hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye
We used to listen to the radio
And sing along with every song we’d know
We said someday we’d find out how it feels
To sing to more than just the steering wheel
Kim's the first girl I kissed
I was so nervous that I nearly missed
She’s had a couple of kids since then
I haven’t seen her since God knows when oh oh oh
Oh god I…
Every memory of lookin’ out the back door
I got the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It’s hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye
Every memory of walkin’ out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was lookin’ for
It’s hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye
I miss that town, I miss the faces
You can’t erase, you can’t replace it
I miss it now, I can’t believe it
So hard to stay, too hard to leave it
If I could relive those days
I know the one thing that would never change
Every memory of lookin’ out the back door
I got the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It’s hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye
Every memory of walkin’ out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was lookin' for
It’s hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye
Look at this photograph
Every time I do it makes me laugh
Every time I do it makes me…
Re: Photograph genesplicer: I'm a big Nickelback fan anyway, but this song hit a nerve with me for some reason when I heard it the other day.
Re: Photograph rickyray: I love this song too, It's kind of ironic because on our last family vacation - we drove through the town that he talks about in his song. (seperated now for 5 weeks) We actually stopped and took some pictures of the kids with the geese statues that they have in town. So this song touches me a bit too.....
Re: Photograph Tarheel: I've always liked Nickelback's sound, but they've never had a song that I HAD to keep on the radio if it came on... until this one.
Looking back and letting go... I always wait for the word "cry" on the very last line.
