3.. 2.. 1..
Say cheese, smile for my camera
You look so pretty in this light
Say cheese, close your eyes and pose just right
And someday we can look back
And remember today
Say cheese, hold your breath and don't say a word
Saying what you want to might ruin the image
Do you remember yesterday?
Or was it something you'd rather forget?
Does my camera haunt you?
Do your poses and your smiles from earlier times
Show you what you don't want to see?
Say cheese, for me, your very closest friend
I love to see your smile, even if you don't
Say cheese, please, and grow my collection
I am your archive for the best or the worst
Lean back, aim well so you can shoot the messenger
He's at a scary angle
but you can make the shot
With enough practice
Don't you see how his eyes grow wide?
Don't you see he's scared of you?
Do you feel no remorse for what you've done?
With each new shot his eyes grow wider
His time grows shorter
Have you considered this?
Or is the only thing on your mind yesterdays picture?
Are you only thinking about avoiding your own confrontations?
Say cheese, this one's going in the history books
Rejoice, the messenger is done
Say cheese, smile and feel good again
But no one's there to take the picture.
