Take a photo look that lasts
See a picture and wanna go back
Back to the colours, back to the smiles
Back in time and stay for a while
You and I could change but what would we do?
You and I could change but we know through and through
Days slide by memories fade
We took pictures the other day
Shots of town a rainy night
Street lights shining down
We turned uptown
You and I could change but what would we do?
You and I could change but we know through and through
You and I could change but not for good
You and I could change but we know through and through
Let’s go back hold hands in the night
Back forever not just a while
Grab a camera back to the smiles
Back in time not just for a while
It’s a crutch and a trophy
A snapshot of one time
When starting out was fine
You and I could change but what would we do?
You and I could change but we know through and through
You and I could change but not for good
You and I could change but we know through and through
Background
You And I is about change. Are photos records of lives within a system, or markers pointing to the way out?
Taking and making money from photos is our current reality. A reflection of the interest we have in ourselves over place.
Are we are stuck? Will we build ourselves out of the picture?
