Taking Pictures

Jack Jonson's recent album "To The Sea" contains a song "Pictures of people taking pictures"

 

Pictures of people taking
Pictures of people taking
Pictures of people taking pictures

 

I pictured us at the end of time
Holding up a camera to our eyes
I took a picture of you took a picture of me
In the background of the picture
Was water running to the sea

 

So I pictured us standing there
Staying away from time
Watching it like a river

As it slowly washes by

And now
Pictures of people taking
Pictures of people taking
Pictures of people taking pictures
And now

Pictures of people taking
Pictures of people taking
Pictures of people taking pictures

 

The feed back loop

Is closing in so tight
Surrounding ourselves

With satellites

 

But I pictured us standing there
Staying away from time
Just watching it like a river

As it slowly washes by

And now
Pictures of people taking
Pictures of people taking
Pictures of people taking pictures
I pictured us at the end of time
Taking pictures of nothing
