Lyrics by Kenton Hall
Music by Kenton Hall & Chris Ilett

lyrics

There is a face, that used to wear my name
Now it’s held in place, by amber and cellophane
Eyes so bright and bold and yet so easily deceived
With a certainty of which they soon will be relieved

So don’t
Don’t take my picture
Cause I’m not sure that I would ever live it down
No don’t
Don’t take my picture
Remember me the way I was when you first found me.

This is the place, where I will stake my claim
Carefully lit and bordered with a frame
A kiss that lingered, just this side of need
A thought that fought to keep up with the shutter speed.

So don’t
Don’t take my picture
Cause I’m not sure that I would ever live it down
No don’t
Don’t take my picture
Remember me the way I was when you first found me

Dim the lights and dip the strips in turpentine
Avert your eyes, I promise there is nothing left round here
For you to find

This is the grace that I have tried to tame
The prudence I transformed into a waiting game
Lies so crass and cold and yet so easily believed
A portrait of the blow about to be received

So don’t
Don’t take my picture
Cause I don’t think that I’d ever live it down
No, don’t
Don’t take my picture
Remember the way I was
When you first found me

So don’t
Don’t take my picture
Cause I don’t think that I’d ever live it down
No, don’t
Don’t take my picture
Remember the way I was
When you first found me
