I Wish I Had Pictures

[Intro]
Oh, oh, hold on, let me tell you somethin' now

[Verse 1]
I wish I had pictures of every old day
'Cause all these old memories are fading away
There used to be pictures, but they faded too
Or got lost in the hubbub
The fuck's a hubbub?
Who wrote this?

[Verse 2]
Of all my old lovers, folks I used to know
And those I still care for who died long ago
The glamorous cities, each cute, cute little town
Trees turning purple, yellow and brown

[Bridge]
If I were an artist with charcoal or pad, I'd be broke
I'd own my own pictures—who gives a fuck about that?
If I were a poet, I'd write the right word
I'd make it all pretty, and grand, and absurd
If I were an actor, I'd shoot myself
Or some little gesture, I would bring it all back

[Verse 3]
But I'm just a singer, used to be, it's only a song
The things I remember are probably wrong
I wish I had pictures of every old day
'Cause all these old memories are fading away

[Outro]
All these old memories are fading away
All these old memories are fading away
All these old memories, fading away
