Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] Clock hits five in the dusty light Shelves full of glass, black and white Found a Nikon in a leather case Left by a ghost without a face Pop the back, see the spool Thirty-six shots, acting like a fool Ninety-something on the label tape Frozen moments try to escape I’m just a clerk with a steady hand Fixing the gears across the land But this roll feels like a heavy weight A message sent twenty years late [Pre-Chorus] I feel the static in the air A story hidden somewhere there Between the shutter and the light It’s coming back to life tonight [Chorus] Oh, let the colors bleed Everything they used to need Underneath the golden sun Before the summer was done I’m just developing your heart Watching every single part Fade back into the light Everything is gonna be alright [Post-Chorus] Silver halide dreams Nothing’s as it seems Rewind the reel How does it feel? [Verse] In the darkroom, red light glow Watch the chemicals start to flow First frame, a beach in Maine Second frame, a kiss in rain She wore a dress of floral print He had a look, a subtle hint Of a love that wasn't meant to last Caught in the silver of the past Ice cream melting on a boardwalk bench A thirst that time could never quench Blurry edges and a sun-drenched lens Where the beginning of the end begins [Hook] Snap, click, flash, gone Waiting for the break of dawn Snap, click, flash, stay Don't let the memory fade away [Chorus] Oh, let the colors bleed Everything they used to need Underneath the golden sun Before the summer was done I’m just developing your heart Watching every single part Fade back into the light Everything is gonna be alright [Bridge] Time is a shutter speed Fast enough to make you bleed But slow enough to keep the heat Of two hearts on a city street I fix the gears, I clean the glass Watching all the seasons pass Nylon strings and 808s Deciding on our different fates [Verse] I dry the prints and I hang 'em up Drinking coffee from a paper cup Who was she? And where is he? Locked inside this imagery Maybe they’re married, maybe they’re not Maybe this is all they ever got A box of shadows in a repair shop Where the ticking of the clock must stop I’ll put the camera back in the bin Wait for the owner to walk back in Hand 'em the past in a yellow pack Knowing they can never really go back [Chorus] Oh, let the colors bleed Everything they used to need Underneath the golden sun Before the summer was done I’m just developing your heart Watching every single part Fade back into the light Everything is gonna be alright [Outro]
