lyrics

The Back of the Picture

Pictures spill out of boxes and envelopes, covering the counter top.
Memories of moments reaching out from a past we thought would never stop
Here you’re young
you’re silly
you’re hopeful
you’re beautiful . . . smile
a past set free
by handwritten words
your cursive connection to me

You once were a fisherman, struggling to hold up your stringer
your brother was blonde once and even he was free from his drinking
you skated
you dressed up
graduating
to the next degree
a past set free
written on the back
your cursive connection to me

hold me once again
sift through my images you’ve saved
tie me with words
to your echoes in these tones and shades

We all once were together for worse and for better, and we laughed and loved
That’s not who we are now, but it helps to see it in black and white
sometimes messy
gritty
spilling over our edges
our past set free
a small guarantee
written on my back
your cursive connection to me

please write it down
each curve and curl - your cursive connection to me
