Animated

Pictures of you that I’ve already seen
Look lifeless and dull on my computer screen
We were so close but that time has faded
Memories want to be animated

A firefly is caught in a jar for a while
'til it dies in the end just like disposable smiles
Remnants of life are overrated
Pictures of you should be animated

You're moving too fast for shutters to catch
The light off your skin as the camera’s flash
The soul in your eyes is never exposed
The part of you I need to see the most
What I’ve loved and hated
Should be animated

I stare at the pixels but it’s just not the same
I can’t replace you just like refreshing the page
It’s a material world but I’m not jaded
I need love to be animated

You're moving too fast for shutters to catch
The light off your skin as the camera’s flash
The soul in your eyes is never exposed
The part of you I need to see the most
What I’ve loved and hated
Should be animated

Shards of color fade into a dream
I remember the things that I want to see
And the way that I want to be

You're moving too fast for shutters to catch
The light off your skin as the camera’s flash
The soul in your eyes is never exposed
The part of you I need to see the most
What I’ve loved and hated
Should be animated
