the History of Film

from Bye Forever by Treehorn

/

lyrics

don't fuss with the framing of the scene
the history of film is not that long

it's not a memory that keeps repeating
just a picture, a picture on the wall

bright spot in the dark a place to walk
a silent scene 

flicker on the wall, a face to hide, a place we've been
pictures of you
simple and free

it's time to step inside
turn around and stick that knife
grab the stone and set it right

walk with me, we need someplace to talk
the orchard's full of pockets of the dark

turn around and let the party fade
don't want to see it past the day it's made

stop posing for the shot
the line of stills won't animate the lot
stick closer to those memories we've got

meet me by the river
where the sand is clean

meet me by the river
there's a place I know that we'll never be seen

meet me by the river
it's too hot tonight

if you can keep it quiet
I promise that I won't put up a fight

it's far too hot tonight
and it's only getting hotter
go ahead and lift your dress, don't let it tangle in the water


this is the only time that it will ever be
what we see tonight's the only thing we'll ever see
