Take a photograph
and settle down
two and two, not as hard as it looks
better not to burn those books
you're not travelling on a beam of light
and you're not sitting around under house arrest
until you change your mind
not a blink
not a breath
not a sign (x4)
take a photograph
to remind you
of the things you know you will one day forget
take a side effect
as a measure of your progress
take what you give
and give what you take
and as you walk with your breath two feet in
front of you in the cold
take a photograph, to have and to hold (x2)
take a photograph
