The Lens Cap Love Letter

[Intro]
[Verse]
The bell rings... twice at three.
It’s always you... I see.
Dusting off the glass.
Watching minutes pass.
You lean upon the wood.
I’d help you if I could.
[Pre-Chorus]
A peppermint half-chewed.
In a quiet mood.
Left beside the till.
Time is standing still.
[Chorus]
Oh, the stray cats in the frame.
Every lens cap has a name.
Developing the rolls.
For the lonely souls.
I’m tucking in a note.
Between your yellow coat.
[Post-Chorus]
Click, snap, wait.
Is it just fate?
Click, snap, wait.
Don't be late.
[Verse]
The light seal’s... cracked and old.
Stories... yet untold.
"Barnaby" on the cap.
Falling in your trap.
A scratch across the back.
In the velvet black.
[Pre-Chorus]
A peppermint half-chewed.
In a quiet mood.
Left beside the till.
Time is standing still.
[Chorus]
Oh, the stray cats in the frame.
Every lens cap has a name.
Developing the rolls.
For the lonely souls.
I’m tucking in a note.
Between your yellow coat.
[Bridge]
The Moog... it hums so low.
Where do the tabbies go?
Analog and warm.
Safe from every storm.
Tape hiss on the track.
Never looking back.
[Breakdown]
[Verse]
I fix the... shutter speed.
Everything you need.
Silver and the chrome.
Take the pictures home.
You smile at the blur.
Of a calico’s fur.
[Chorus]
Oh, the stray cats in the frame.
Every lens cap has a name.
Developing the rolls.
For the lonely souls.
I’m tucking in a note.
Between your yellow coat.
[Post-Chorus]
Click, snap, wait.
Is it just fate?
Click, snap, wait.
Don't be late.
[Outro]
