Old Photographs - Janis Ian

Sometimes I feel like we’ve got nothing to say anymore

We sit around and fade into the walls

Like old photographs

I guess it happens as the days and years go by

Something changes.

You don’t know why

And you’re afraid to ask

Photographs

I don’t want to be just a fading memory

Torn in half by time

All we have are pictures of us

And the way loved used to be

Between you and me

Old photographs

We used to talk about mistakes our parents made

We swore we’d never waste our lives that way

How the tables turn

Are we the same two people who fell in love

Have we really changed so much

Or did we just grow up?

Photographs

I don’t want to be just a fading memory

Torn in half by time

All we have are pictures of us

And the way loved used to be

Between you and me

Old photographs

Photographs

Pictures of us

And the way loved used to be

Between you and me
