trap us on a film and keep us there
let us everything else just turn to rust
put us in a frame that says to the future
we will go there together
and how these lights combine
to show us all we had and what we could not find
and how these stars align
the sun goes ‘round and the days go by
azul, azul
carry me away
take me beyond the bright long horizon
and though
sand gets in our hair
salt gets in our eyes
we’ll last forever
we’ll live on through photographs
let the tide just wash us out
let everything decay except for us
static to buzz
tiling to fuzz
we will go there together
and how these lights combine
to show us all we had and what we could not find
and how these stars align
the sun goes ‘round and the days go by
azul, azul
carry me away
take me beyond the bright long horizon
and though
sand gets in our hair
salt gets in our eyes
we’ll last forever
we’ll live on through photographs
