Photographs and Memories Lyrics
i keep your picture by my bed for when im feeling sad
and i dont know why i would be.
the way your smile looks so real
i feel like i could start to understand your grace.
and i dont understand why you're
not here with me.
and i dont even wanna know where else
you'd be.
CHORUS:cause i have photographs and memories of the times
when you weren't on my mind and i was alone.
and i have poetry and drawings of my life
when you weren't on my side and i didn't know
just what is love...
writing moments on the wall with different colors
keeps my mind away from missing you.
and i can't wait to fall asleep to slip into my dreams
where we can dance upon a star..
and i will be as patient as a boy in love could ever be.
cause i don't feel like i was real until you were
a part of me.
CHORUS
i need you back, i need you back
i need you here.
i need your smile, i need your eyes
i need you dear.
cause every line on your face makes a beautiful maze
for my eyes to trace...
and i dont know why i would be.
the way your smile looks so real
i feel like i could start to understand your grace.
and i dont understand why you're
not here with me.
and i dont even wanna know where else
you'd be.
when you weren't on my mind and i was alone.
and i have poetry and drawings of my life
when you weren't on my side and i didn't know
just what is love...
keeps my mind away from missing you.
and i can't wait to fall asleep to slip into my dreams
where we can dance upon a star..
and i will be as patient as a boy in love could ever be.
cause i don't feel like i was real until you were
a part of me.
i need you here.
i need your smile, i need your eyes
i need you dear.
cause every line on your face makes a beautiful maze
for my eyes to trace...

this song reminds me of a long distance relationship or maybe two people at different colleges... like maybe the people are together when they're together and when they aren't it's like a don't ask-don't tell thing. "and i dont understand why you're not here with me. and i dont even wanna know where else you'd be." it just makes me think of people that are separated by like physical distance
I'm suprosed no one has yet commented on this song, it really is wonderful!!!! :)
This is a very sweet and touching song. I adore the last line!
his voice is so pretty and his lyrics are so sweet. but this song makes me sad.
I'm going to see him tonight with someone that I feel exactly the same way about...
It might be hard for me to get through it.
this song is so beautiful. and so true for anyone who has loved and lost.
no matter how many times I listen to this song, it always brings tears to my eyes. This song is me right now...I just lost my soulmate to someone else...and this is exactly how I feel. This person was my everything :( very beautiful song
this song reminds me of my past....and this song touch me so deep,,,, such great song ;)
I love this song so much. I've heard it before, once long ago. However, a friend recently reintroduced me to Jason Reeves again. This song means so much to me, it reminds me of a broken relationship and even though it's over, you still need that person. A part of my heart will always beat solely for this one person... no matter how badly it ended or how much this person is not good for me, i need him. The photographs and memories keep him alive inside my heart.
the end verse is my favorite, so pure in everyway, and very straight forward. What more can you ask for?
Life would be so much easier if guys were so straight forward and didnt pussy-foot around everything.
