The title of the song, “camera roll” is a term used to describe the soft, warm light of a sunrise or sunset that’s considered ideal for photos. This song is a cautionary tale about looking at life through the filtered lens of the photos we choose to save on our devices.

[Verse 1]
Don't go through your camera roll
So much you don't know that you've forgotten
What a trip, the way you can flip
Through all the good parts of it, I shouldn't have done it
[Chorus]
Chronological order and nothing but torture
Scroll too far back, that's what you get
I don't wanna see 'em, but I can't delete 'em
It just doesn't feel right yet, not yet
[Verse 2]
All the best, that's all that's left

It just doesn't feel right yet, not yet
[Bridge]
Hmm, look at me, I'm living all alone
And now you're only living in my phone
[Outro]
Anyway, thanks for all the nights and the days
And everything that you gave, I'll never erase it
There's one where we look so in love
Before we lost all the sun and I made you take it

I thought I was fine. I was on an upswing of confidence. I’m feeling good about these life changes, where I’m at; I made the right decision and we’re moving forward. And then, in a moment of, I don’t know, I guess boredom and weakness, I found myself just way back in the camera roll, just one night...
