“Pictures Of Girls” is the lead single of Wallow’s debut EP Spring and the band played this track for their TV debut on The Late Late Show with James Corden.
The song is very reminiscent of something The Strokes would play and frontman Dylan Minnette even expected immediate comparisons telling Pape...
[Verse 1: Dylan Minnette]
I see the end, you wait for nothing
You and I, we grew up in the suburbs
Now you're gone, the city's down a number
It is not the same without you around, oh
[Verse 2: Dylan Minnette]
I see you there, still shy but smiling
Now I find it hard to remember

I am hanging on to something real
[Chorus: Dylan Minnette & Braeden Lemasters]
'Cause pictures of girls are not for me

[Bridge: Dylan Minnette & Braeden Lemasters]
You should be down in Hollywood
You should be down in Hollywood
You should be down in Hollywood
You should be down in Hollywood
You should be down in Hollywood
You should be down in Hollywood
You should be down in Hollywood
You should be down in Hollywood
[Outro: Dylan Minnette & Braeden Lemasters]
You should be down in Hollywood
You should be down in Hollywood
You should be down in Hollywood
You should be down in Hollywood
(I'd like to see it all)
You should be down in Hollywood
You should be down in Hollywood
(I'd like to see it all)
You should be down in Hollywood
You should be down in Hollywood

Braeden explained:
Like, the art scene in that film. I watched that scene, turned off the sound and tried to write my own guitar part over it.
