Picture on my phone Lyrics

Can you know someone that's only ever seen

Through a million little phrases constellated by some pixels on a screen

I wonder if you can

When I turn my hand to face her she is veiled by the reflection of a dream

Her a ghost in my machine

Oh what cluttered lives we lead

We could take a picnic and go walking through the forest or the street

We could wander lost and free

When I'd turn my eye to face her, I can tell she'd know exactly what I mean

So much to do and see

She knows the situation could arise

When the zombie dead come marching and our people have to race off to survive

Will she be by my side?

Will I be riding shotgun, through the sunsets or the battles for our lives

And from the ashes we will rise

One day we could drink wine into the night

She would tell me all the stories that have led her to this moment in her life

All the crazy fucked up things

That rise up from our memories and remind us to always take a person whole

They're a tonic for the soul

The social distance sometimes feels like worlds apart

I want to climb a rocket ship and travel through a wormhole to her heart

But it's coordinates aren't known

And I worry that I'll miss it and drift off into some empty space alone

With just a picture on my phone
