Please Just Take These Photos From My Hands Lyrics - A Hundred Million Suns - Snow Patrol

The yellowed page of the books and books 

I'd forgotten that I had 

These paperbacks, they know their age they smell 

Of weight and time that's resting warm 

The opened box beside the endless box parade 

That haunts my house 

Is fit to split with photographs that tell 

The wanderlust of years smashed on to years 

When all this actual life played out 

Where the hell on earth was I? 

I rack my brains but it won't come 

Through water damaged bloodshot eyes 

The fleeting triumphs, brazen lies 

All seem to mingle into one

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

I read your name under words in your elegant hand 

You probably don't mean now 

I fold the letter and think of a million 

And one thing's that I could have done different 

When all this actual life played out 

Where the hell on earth was I? 

I rack my brains but it won't come 

Through water damaged bloodshot eyes 

The fleeting triumphs, brazen lies 

All seem to mingle into one 

One gigantic fairy tale 

Of friends I haven't seen in years 

Drinking till the daylight hurts 

You seem friendly, who are you? 

That's a lot of wine that we got through 

We've made playtime look like work 

Please just take these photos from my hands 

Please just take these photos from my hands 

Please just take these photos from my hands 

Please just take these photos from my hands 

Please just take these photos from my hands 

Please just take these photos from my hands 

Please just take these photos from my hands 

Please just take these photos from my hands
