And I can't explain enough And I won't let it last the night I'll show you that the image is still there, unseen
[Verse 1] We get in our way Tripping on our feet Filling up our heads too much With words too hard to speak Drowning in a place Where the night can not escape Commit ourselves into the depths Exposed against a page
[Pre-Chorus] Caught in a phrase An echo in our minds A flash, a flood And its burned into our eyes
[Chorus 2] And I can't explain enough And I won't let it last the night I'll show you that the image is still there, unseen It's darkest before the light If we shut our eyes to see The things that we have lost inside the lines between
[Verse 2] Between the black and white Where everything goes grey And everything is unsaid, undone And the negative bleeds away To reveal the memory That we've waited so long for The image shifts as the acid drips Down the paper to the floor
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus 2]
[Bridge] We're so nervous to see If we've let too much in If we were out of focus or out of frame I know it's a moment of truth If a recollection reflects reality Or if it's lost forever
[Chorus 2]
[Outro] And I won't let it last The image is still there, unseen
