Photographic Memories - Steam Powered Giraffe

Hope is very hard when

Hope is very hard when we put ourselves out to sea

We’ve taken all the right steps taken all the right steps

but which doors open with our keys

All the neon fires fired in our brains

We were thinking that our world was in danger

But then we entered the fray

All the rest they could not compare,

your smile said that you cared

And it felt so wonderful

Now all these memories I can’t wash them away,

they are destined to stay

And they feel like a heaven those

pho-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-tah-graphic memories

and they’ll die on with me

All your faults I did cherish them all,

I helped you up when you’d fall

You did the same for me too

Into my life, you arived right on time,

you must have been a sign

and now I’m left with all these

pho-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-tah-graphic memories

and they’ll die on with me

Your eyes burn two giant holes straight in my heart

my love spills out conquers you whole

Now we’re swimming around in the love

and it soaks into our skin though mine is metal

and yours is flesh.

our differences make this the best

Love in town and we skip to every destination

we’re putting on show everywhere we go sparks fly from my lips

its an electric kiss

Static’s abound, frequency sounds hand in hand we dance around

I’m generating lots of love holding your hand

They can hear our motors turning across the land

All our love well it put us at ease and it

Somehow made time freeze

And it seemed like it’d never end

Both of our hearts seemed to

Intertwine, when we met for the first time

And now I can’t stop thinking about those

pho-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-tah-graphic memories

and they’ll die on with me

Hope is very hard when

Hope is very hard when you’ve

lost the thing you had before

I took all the right steps

I took all the right steps and I

unlocked the right doors

All the neon fires died out in my brain

And I grew numb to that feeling of pain

why did you have to go

All the rest they could never compare,

your smile showed me that you cared

And it felt so wonderful

All those memories I can’t

wash them away, they are

embedded in my brain

And I am all alone now with these

pho-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-tah-graphic memories

and they’ll die on with me
