Pictures
The Bayton Fields Lyrics

I’m wasted
I am heavily under the influence of drugs or alcohol, which has impaired my mental and physical functions.

I’m lying wasted on my couch
I am lying down on my couch while being intoxicated with my cognitive and physical abilities significantly diminished.

Maybe I should call up some friends
I am considering the possibility of calling some of my acquaintances for social interaction and to hold a conversation.

And see if they wanna hang out
I want to discern if my friends are interested in spending time with me for the purpose of keeping each other company.

So I’m taking
I pick up my phone.

I’m taking my phone, unlock it and see
I retrieve and access my mobile device, unlocking the screen to view its contents.

Your face on the screen happily smiling at me
I see your countenance on the display, radiating positive emotions.

I know I should better put it aside
I realize that it would be beneficial to set aside my phone and focus on something else.

But I can’t get you out of my mind
Despite my best intentions, thoughts of you remain prevalent in my thoughts.

Cause my phone is full of pictures
My phone's storage has numerous images saved, primarily depicting you and me involved in activities to foster a positive impression.

Of me and you trying to make it seem
The snapshots of us are taken to project the semblance of being content and satisfied with our relationship.

Like everything is alright, alright tonight
The imagery we captured together leads others to believe that we are doing well and happy, just as it appears in the photos.

And my phone is stu ff e d with pictures
There is an abundance of images saved on my phone, which occupy the available space completely.

Of me and you being so in love
The pictures are capturing moments of intimacy and affection that depict a healthy and passionate couple in love.

But we’re not okay
The reality is that we're not okay, and our relationship is not going well.

You know I started dating A girl that looks a bit like you
I want you to know that I am seeing someone who has facial features that resemble yours.

And we’re having fun, At least that’s what I think I do
I believe that the relationship with the new girl is fulfilling and entertaining, at least in my perspective.

But when I come home I look through my phone `til I see your name
However, upon returning to my private quarters, I can't resist looking at your contact information and reviewing the pictures of us again.

I got your number still saved, to fool myself that things are still the same
I retain your phone number as a means of convincing myself that our relationship still exist in the same way as it did before.

We’re not okay
I am repeating the point to stress that we are not doing well, and our relationship is unstable.

I never thought it could be this hard (oh, oh)
I didn't anticipate that coping with our relationship's deterioration would be such a burden.

But letting go, yes that is the hardest part
Accepting the conclusion of our relationship and letting go of our attachments to each other is the most challenging component.

And I don’t know, I don’t know if that is something that I can do, yeah
I am uncertain if I am mentally or emotionally capable of severing my bond with you or if I can move forward.

'Cause everything still reminds me of you
All aspects of my life still trigger reminders or memories of you, making it difficult to move on.

Uuuh, uuuh
This is an uttered sound with no attributed meaning or semantic value.

We’re not okay
I am emphasizing, for the third time, that our relationship is not doing well, and things are not okay.

We’re not okay
The conclusion is reiterated, emphasizing that the relationship is in shambles.
