Carry This Picture Lyrics
Carry this picture for luck
Kept in a locket
Tucked in your collar
Close to your chest
Make it a secret
Shown to the closest friends
Meet me at quarter to seven
The sun will still shine then
At this time of year
We'll head to the inlet
And we'll share a bottle there
Colour the coast with your smile
It's the most genuine thing
That I've ever seen
I was so lost but now I believe
Follow me south of the big docks
Where they tether the boats
The rich men revere as so important
They hire our fathers to steer
And down to the edge of the water
Where we'll spill our guts
And we'll name our fears
I'll give you this picture
Keep it and don't be scared
Colour the coast with your smile
It's the most genuine thing
That I've ever seen
I was so lost but now I believe
Kept in a locket
Tucked in your collar
Close to your chest
Make it a secret
Shown to the closest friends
The sun will still shine then
At this time of year
We'll head to the inlet
And we'll share a bottle there
It's the most genuine thing
That I've ever seen
I was so lost but now I believe
Where they tether the boats
The rich men revere as so important
They hire our fathers to steer
Where we'll spill our guts
And we'll name our fears
I'll give you this picture
Keep it and don't be scared
It's the most genuine thing
That I've ever seen
I was so lost but now I believe

I think this song is really cute.. I really like this part, "...and color the coast with your smile-its the most genuine thing ive ever seen". I have a live version of this song downloaded, and I love how he sings the song so lightly.. it just makes it all the more better. =D
I would have to agree. "Your smile, its the most genuine thing I've ever seen," is my favorite part.
I really like this song, some of his better lyrics.
I think it's just about his infatuation for a girl... he's falling for her, she's the most beautiful thing in the world to him.
yeah "...and color the coast with your smile-its the most genuine thing ive ever seen". is my favourite part too, its so lovely

This song makes me want to have gender reassignment surgery

I really love this song. It makes me think of a long distance relationship. And i love the lyrics, truly I think Chris uses some of the best wording and his voice carries so much emotion and meaning behind what he sings!
"And color the coast with you smile its the most genuine thing..i've ever seen, I was so lost. But now I believe". Yeah I liked this song..I didnt stay hooked on it forever though..as I do with some songs..it kind of bored me.
....um..i love this song....but correction the song is called "carry this picture" not carry this picture for luck....(O.o)
