Full lyrics for “Take a Picture”
Flying kites
With boy wonder
Hold tight
To me all summer
Reading
My magazines
Dancing in
My blue jeans
Pucker up in sunglasses
Making love to the
flashes
Posing the way that
we do for everybody to see
Polaroid through
your lashes
Only thing that
will last is
I take a picture of
you taking a picture of me
I take a picture of
you taking a picture of me
I take a picture of
you taking a picture of me
Tomorrow always
happens too soon
I wish I had an
electric moon
To save the light
Fireworks
And night streamers
Baby blue
With the day
dreamers
Under water
Close to me
Hold my breath
in my blue jeans
Pucker up in
sunglasses
Making love to the
flashes
Posing the way that
we do for everybody to see
Polaroid through
your lashes
Only thing that
will last is
I take a picture of
you taking a picture of me
I take a picture of
you taking a picture of me
Tomorrow always
happens too soon
I wish I had an
electric moon
To save the light
I wanna live
tonight
I wanna save the
light
And it goes on and
on and on
And we go on and on
and on
I wanna live
We wanna live
The life! (Tonight)
