High school graduation, last family vacation
Trip to Michigan last year
My yearbook from seventh grade
I tore out every page with me
And threw it all away

[Pre-Chorus]
I know there were more good times than bad
But it's easy to forget when I start looking back

[Chorus]
So I know you wanna keep
This memory, can you keep in the back of your head?
'Cause when I see it in a week
I'll wish I was dead
I'll wish I took the picture of you instead

[Verse 2]
Future holidays, the beach next summer break
I don't need proof that I was there
My big brother's wedding
Hope I'm not regretting the dress
That I decide to wear

[Chorus]
So I know you wanna keep
This memory, can you keep in the back of your head?
'Cause when I see it in a week
I'll wish I was dead
I'll wish I took the picture of you instead

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
I'll wish I took the picture of you instead
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

[Pre-Chorus]
I know there were more good times than bad
But they keep on getting ruined by these photographs

[Chorus]
So I know you wanna keep
This memory, can you keep in the back of your head?
'Cause when I see it in a week
I'll wish I was dead
I'll wish I took the picture of you instead

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
I'll wish I took the picture of you instead
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
