Pictures

Benjamin Francis Leftwich

If you crash a car into
Your best friend's house
Would you be quiet as
Words came out of their mouth

Stop, don't do it
I have been waiting for it
Stop, I knew it would come

If you find a god next to
Your girlfriend's bed
Would it be hard to
Sort out your spinning head

Stop, don't say that, dear
That you wanted him here
Stop, don't give him the clear

Take a picture of them
Take a picture of them

If you are afraid, don't be
I have the whole thing planned
We'll start in the ocean, baby
And when we find the land
We will be thankful to
All of our friends
That they didn't leave us
As we got to the end

Take a picture of them
Take a picture of them
Take a picture of them
Take a picture of them

If you find your faith in
Your parents' God
Don't be so quick to
Point out the flaws in it

You've been around and you've seen
The way that things work
But you need a compass to
Get around your house
