Joey Burbs - Living Through Pictures lyrics

rate me

(Chorus: Tori Kelly - Paper Hearts)

Pictures I’m living through for now

Trying to remember all the good times

Our life was cutting through so loud

Memories are playing in my dull mind

I hate this part paper hearts

And I’ll hold a piece of yours

Don’t think I would just forget about it

Hoping that you won’t forget about it

(Verse)

She told me tag her in the photo

So she can see me wheneva she pick the logo

We say goodbye as I'm boarding the plane

We promised to stay in touch, but know it won't be the same

Ya see I... haven't seen my best friend since pursuin' rap

The last time I saw my home was on Google Maps

It feels like this new start is like the road to an end

Ya know I luv her, I'm there, but it's like a ______(?)

I try to keep relationships through snapchat

Nowadays, me and no others really snap back

Guess we can't live off emojis and texts

It's funny how wifi makes me feel disconnected (man, forget it)

You see, my pride is what I'm swallowin'

Now I'm speakin' like the Instagrams I'm followin'

With no filter, my blood grows thinner

I'm calmly been livin' in a place with no winter

She callin' me so scared like she usin' up her lifeline

Begins to cry and goes staring at the night sky

We may be far, but we're lookin' at the same moon

Just give me time, we'll have new moments for this frame soon

(Chorus: Tori Kelly - Paper Hearts)

(Verse 2)

I missed three weddings and a graduation

Feel like I just need to get back to basics

I'm trading seconds for a stack of pages

I'm gettin' caught up from a lack of patience

I neva coulda seen myself in this position

It's everything I dream but it feels like something's missin'

See, I remember comin' home from my bizzy

Tellin' my mom there's not a chance that I would go there, forget it

Well, it's been a year since I went and made the Houston move

I'm with the homies screamin' know I had to do it to 'em

A new circle, gotta curve 'em if they ain't straight

Cuz these squares always get it twisted like a Rubix cube

The best year of my life, I wouldn't trade it for a moment

Through the tears and the strife

I can't believe what I've been blessed with

Can't believe what has been tested

And even through all these lessons, man I still won't get the message

I'm just sayin'... sometimes it's hard to be away

I see my brother gettin' buckets in his Varsity game

Other brother's number one up in his highschool class

Our lives are flyin' through fast

Just wished that I knew daddy

Says I wish you coulda seen it, and it breaks my heart

It's like I built up this love and now it's taken apart

So now I'm livin' through pictures

Scrollin' through everything I might miss

Wishin' I could do a lil more than like it

(Chorus: Tori Kelly - Paper Hearts)
