A sad, pop, dreamy, emotinal song about Smile for The camera
Lyrics
mm-mm, ah-ah
soft flash, slow breath, (mmm)
You tilt your chin like you learned it from a picture book
Lipstick practiced, practiced, in my mirror I look
Counting out the seconds that the shutter keeps for me
Holding onto make-believe, it's all I know to be
There’s a quiet in the frame where I don't let you stay
So I paint on all the light and I push the night away (push it away)
I smile and I pretend that the film will keep me whole
But the reel is just a memory and it slides right through my soul
Smile for the camera, sm-sm-smile (ah-ah)
Smile for the camera, hold it for a while (oh-oh)
Smile for the camera, say it like you mean it (say it)
Smile for the camera, don't let them see the pieces (don't let them see)
Smile for the camera, sm-sm-smile
Smile for the camera, hide behind the light
Polaroid confessions, corners fold with every lie
I laugh like it's a warm thing when inside I'm asking why
Your hand is on my shoulder, you say everything's okay
But the picture keeps the hush that words refused to say
So I lean into the moment where the flash becomes my skin
I wear the borrowed brightness like a coat I can't live in (can't live in)
I smile and I rehearse until the cracks begin to show
Then I tuck them into practice frames where they won't have to grow
Smile for the camera, sm-sm-smile (ah-ah)
Smile for the camera, hold it for a while (oh-oh)
Smile for the camera, say it like you mean it (say it)
Smile for the camera, don't let them see the pieces (don't let them see)
Smile for the camera, sm-sm-smile
Smile for the camera, hide behind the light
Mmm, I know how to look brave in a borrowed pose (mm)
I know how to look brave when I'm falling slow (la-la)
If you only saw the margins where the real me hides (uh-huh)
You'd press your thumb across the crease and you'd read the lines
Smile for the camera, sm-sm-smile (ah-ah)
Smile for the camera, hold it for a while (oh-oh)
Smile for the camera, say it like you mean it (say it)
Smile for the camera, don't let them see the pieces (don't let them see)
Smile for the camera, sm-sm-smile
Smile for the camera, hide behind the lightmm-mm, ah-ah
leave the lens on slow, leave me in the glow (leave me)
mm-mm, ah-ah
