As a child grabbing at the black and white
Photos of my ancle alive in his youth
I could only imagine that life was always happy
So perfect

Makes me laugh
Leaves me stunned
Given life by a violent son, I was
Steppin' off of your suppositions
Long before you had even tried
So perfect
So perfect

Not until I reflected on my own
Growing a set of smiling memories
Did I realise that we are
Only a shadow
That we are
Only a shadow
Cast from what is real

You are so
You are so

Hey! Let me take a picture
That way we'll never miss you
A holiday from what we areHey! Let me take a picture
That way we'll never miss you
A holiday from what we are, are
So perfect
So perfect
We are turning brown!

We are turning brown (we are turning brown)
We are turning brown (we are turning brown)
We are turning brown (we are turning brown)
We are turning brown (we are turning brown)
We are turning brown (we are turning brown)
We are turning brown (we are turning brown)
We are turning brown (we are turning brown)
We're all turning brown (we are turning brown)
