Picture_of_You
My Morning Jacket Lyrics

The first half of the first verse in "Picture of You" by My Morning Jacket presents the singer's sense of materialistic success through the possessions he lists such as a house, car, and significant arm. However, the second half of the verse highlights his realization that the advancements in his life have not eradicated his worries as reflected in the repetition of "and a little worry anymore." The inclusion of "a picture of you with green green eyes" acts as a reminder of a past lover or friend who may have brought joy in the singer's life. Although he has achieved a level of prosperity, the singer recognizes that it does not guarantee happiness, and nostalgia remains a source of comfort.

The second verse is an apology from the singer to someone he has caused harm to. He acknowledges his wrongdoing and would do anything to make amends. The repetition of "sorry" highlights the remorse he feels and the second line about giving anything on a dime highlights his willingness to make it up to the person. However, the line "sorry don't mean nothing if nothing's still in bed" indicates that the apology may not be enough to fix the damage already done. The last line of the verse, "you don't say, 'I'll wait up,'" suggests that the recipient of the apology may not be willing to forgive so easily.
