Picture Songtext
von Eddie Vedder

One, two, three, four

A picture tells a thousand words, some of them were mine
Combing through the evidence, afraid of what we′ll find
The sun could lift us up, should this thunder ever stop
There's no over, there′s no under, there's no shame

Picture of love, we were a picture of love
The measure of our years, so deep and wide
Picture of hope, we were a picture of hope
Standing close together, side by side (yeah)

If we let the darkness of these times break us
Oh-ho-ho, that would truly be the crime
Did I cause the sadness in your eyes?
Oh, allow me, please, to ease your troubled mind


Picture of love, we were a picture of love
The measure of our years, so deep and wide
Picture of hope, we were a picture of hope
Standing close together, side by side

Strangers, they walk past with eyes of one-way glass
Thinkin' what′s hidden will someday pass
Somewhere down below, the will to not let go
Our hearts fit together ′cause they're broken, whoa-oh

Picture of love, we were a picture of love
The measure of our years, so deep and wide
Picture of hope, we were a picture of hope
Standing close together, side by side, yeah

Picture of love, we were a picture of love
The measure of our years, so deep and wide
Picture of hope, we were a picture of hope
Standing close together, side by side
Yeah
