Take a photograph and settle down
To endure not as hard as it looks
Better not to burn those books
You're not travelling on a beam of light

You're not sitting around under house arrest until you change your mind
Not a blink, not a breath, not a sign, not a sign, not a sign
Not a sign
Take a photograph to remind you

Of the things you know you will one day forget
Take a side effect as a measure of your progress
Take what you give and give what you take
And as you walk with your breath two feet in front of you in the cold

Take a photograph, to have and to hold
Take a photograph, to have and to hold
Take a photograph
