[Verse 1] I took a picture of you using my analog camera
Hoping to capture that smile after so many years
I took a picture of you using my analog camera
Hoping to capture that soul after so many songs I wrote

[Pre-Chorus] But when I got the pictures back
Your face were all in the dark
It got me wondering why
But then I realised

[Chorus] You will always be a locked character
Forever in silhouette for me
Something I can’t reach, something I can’t touch
You will always stay a faded memory
Hanging on in my mind
My camera did not lie
It’s telling me the truth

[Verse 2] I took a picture of you using my analog camera
Hoping to capture those shades in your eyes and your face
I took a picture of you using my analog camera
Hoping to capture the time before you went away again

[Pre-Chorus] But when I got the pictures back
Your face were all in the dark
It got me wondering why
But now I realised

[Chorus] You will always be a locked character
Forever in silhouette for me
Something I can’t reach, something I can’t touch
You will always stay a faded memory
Hanging on in my mind
My camera did not lie
It’s telling me the truth

[Interlude] [Pre-Chorus] Still when I got the pictures back
Your face were all in the dark
It got me wondering why
But now I understood

[Chorus] You will always be a locked character
Forever in silhouette for me
Something I can’t reach, something I can’t touch
You will always stay a faded memory
Hanging on in my mind
My camera did not lie
It’s telling me the truth
