Photographs Lyrics

I’ll never know how you felt when you kissed him
I’ll never know if he made you smile
I’ll never know if you secretly think back and miss him
These things I wonder every once in a while

Honey, take down those Photographs
I need to know what’s passed is passed, oh
Tell me I’m the only one, that your two-timing days are done
That you have had your fun

When I met you, you were wild and you were free
When I met you, you were a whole lot like me
Well, we’ve both grown quite a bit
There’s some things I’d really like to forget
You won’t let me, I don’t know why you won’t let me

Honey, take down those photographs
I need to know what’s passed is passed, oh
Tell me I’m the only one, that your two-timing days are done
That you have had your fun

Take down those photographs
I need to know what’s passed is passed, oh
Tell me I’m the only one, that your two-timing days are done
That you have had your fun

Photographs

This is the title track from the singer-songwriter Robert Ellis' first major label release. The song finds Ellis asking his girl to take down the photos that remind him of her previous (and possibly current) lover. "It's a song about infidelity," he said in our 2013 interview.

Ellis took a different approach to the two sides of the Photographs album. The "A-side" contains songs with more original inspiration that he spent a long time developing. On the "B-side," which includes this track, he was writing songs in classic Bluegrass and Country traditions. This song evokes the classic Country songs by the likes of George Jones where the singer's heart is breaking.
