| Man, we used to be brothers
|
| Superheroes and warriors
|
| Cowboys and Indians, train drivers, everything
|
| Rolling through the endless summers
|
| But everything changes
|
| You got married, had children
|
| And I don’t have your number, The one I can remember
|
| Is the place you used to live with your parents
|
| But in the stillness of the moment it takes
|
| For a Polaroid picture to capture our faces forever
|
| The world has turned a touch on its axis
|
| And the only thing certain is everything changes
|
| Man, they closed the Astoria
|
| At the end of last summer
|
| The place we earned our pedigree, scene of our victories
|
| Sanctuary in the centre of London
|
| Now they’re building a railway
|
| To drag the vanquished to Versailles
|
| And the singalongs go on, but they’re singing different songs
|
| In rooms that we don’t know on the other side of the city
|
| And in the stillness of the moment it takes
|
| For a Polaroid picture to capture our faces forever
|
| The world has turned a touch on its axis
|
| And the only thing certain is everything changes
|
| So honey, I just need a little time to take
|
| A little time with today
|
| To savour all the triumph and tragedy
|
| Before it slips away
|
| Before it slips away
|
| Let go of the little distractions
|
| Hold close to the ones that you love
|
| Cause we won’t all be here this time next year
|
| So while you can, take a picture of us
|
| Let go of the little distractions
|
| Hold close to the ones that you love
|
| Cause we won’t all be here this time next year
|
| So while you can, take a picture of us
|
| Take a Polaroid picture
|
| (Let go of the little distractions)
|
| Take a Polaroid picture
|
| (Hold close to the ones that you love)
|
| Take a Polaroid picture
|
| (Cause we won’t all be here this time next year)
|
| Please take a Polaroid picture
|
| (So while you can, take a picture of us)
|
| Take a Polaroid picture
|
| (Let go of the little distractions)
|
| Please take a Polaroid picture
|
| (Hold close to the ones that you love)
|
| Take a picture of us to show
|
| We’ve been watching to see where the time goes
|
| So in the stillness in the moment
|
| Make sure you take a Polaroid picture
|
| And keep it with you forever
|
| To remind yourself that everything changes
|
| But there was this one time
|
| There was this one time
|
| When things were okay |
