Photographs
Guy Valarino Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Laid back on the sand,
The sun's so warming we just lay there hand in hand,
Take a photograph,
Down by the shore,
There's no other place where we'd need to go,
With a smile,
I know your sweet voice,
Singing those tunes,
And when you kiss me,
I float up in the air,
And when you dance…you dance so beautifully
Driving,
Back into town,
You sit beside me with your camera in your hand,
Just snapping at me as we go along,
But I can't look and keep my eyes upon the road,
Your sweet smell,
Lingers on my pillow,
Distance is the cruellest thing I know,
Why can't I just jump into those photographs?
I'm stuck I keep on dreaming about the past
The song "Photographs" by Guy Valarino describes a couple who are spending a day by the sea taking photographs and enjoying each other's company. They are so relaxed and happy that they have no desire to go anywhere else. The singer is in love with his partner, admiring her beauty and her singing. He feels like he's floating in the air whenever she kisses him and her dancing is so mesmerizing that he can't take his eyes off her.
The second verse of the song sees the couple driving back into town with the singer's partner taking photographs of him while he's at the wheel. However, he finds it difficult to focus on driving with her by his side. He mentions how her sweet smell lingers on his pillow and how he finds it hard to be away from her. The distance between them frustrates him and he longs to be with her again. He wishes he could jump into the photographs that they took by the sea and relive those moments again.
Overall, "Photographs" is a love song that captures the feeling of being in love and the desire to hold onto those precious memories forever.

Laid back,
We were relaxed,
Laid back on the sand,
We were lying on the sand,
The sun's so warming we just lay there hand in hand,
It was a warm day and we were laying together holding hands,
Take a photograph,
Let's capture this moment in a picture,
Down by the shore,
By the beach,
There's no other place where we'd need to go,
We didn't need to go anywhere else, this was perfect,
With a smile,
You have a beautiful smile,
That brightens a room,
Your smile lights up a whole room,
I know your sweet voice,
I recognize your lovely voice,
Singing those tunes,
When you sing those songs,
And when you kiss me,
And when you kiss me,
I float up in the air,
I feel like I'm floating,
And when you dance…you dance so beautifully
Your dancing is exquisite, you move so gracefully,
Driving,
We were in the car,
Back into town,
We were heading back to the city,
You sit beside me with your camera in your hand,
You were next to me holding your camera,
Just snapping at me as we go along,
You were taking random pictures of me while we were driving,
But I can't look and keep my eyes upon the road,
I couldn't look at you because I had to keep my eyes on the road,
Your sweet smell,
You have a lovely fragrance,
Lingers on my pillow,
I can still smell you on my pillow,
Distance is the cruellest thing I know,
Being apart from you is the most difficult thing I can imagine,
Why can't I just jump into those photographs?
I wish I could just transport myself into those pictures,
I'm stuck I keep on dreaming about the past
I feel trapped, constantly thinking about our memories together
