The Picture (That Took Me) Songtext
von All Day Sucker

There′s a picture somewhere of two people in love
And they're doing all the things people do when they′re together.
Now it's hidden in a drawer with the odd paraphernalia
And I fetch it every time that I feel I probably failed you.

I don't want to be in your memory.
I want to be in your arms.
I don′t want to be where you used to be.
I want to be where you are.

I was so sure I was right.
Oh yes, I′m the big pretender.
Resignation in my eyes
While my smile said, "Love me tender".
Now I stay up all night 'til my short sight is dilated.
Just a picture and I
Love you so much that I hate it.


I don′t want to be in your memory.
I want to be in your arms.
I don't want to be where you used to be.
I want to be where you are.
I don′t want to be in your memory.
I want to be in your arms.
I don't want to be where you used to be.
I want to be where you are.

Yeah, we really had something.
Yeah, we really had something good.
Yeah, and something good is hard to find.
Yeah, I really lost something.
Yeah, I know I really lost something good.
Yeah, and all I′ve got's this reminder.
Yeah yeah yeah.

Now you're doing all the things people do when they′re together
And there′s a picture somewhere
But it's turned down on a nightstand (one night stand).


I don′t want to be in your memory.
I want to be in your arms.
I don't want to be where you used to be.
I want to be where you are.
I don′t want to be in your memory.
I want to be in your arms.
I don't want to be where you used to be.
I want to be where you are.
I don′t want to be in your memory.
I want to be in your arms.
I don't want to be where you used to be.
I want to be where you are.
