  • Man, we used to be brothers
    Superheroes and warriors
    Cowboys and Indians, train drivers
    Everything rolling through the endless summers

    But everything changes
    You got married had children
    And I don't have your number
    The one I can remember is that place you used to live with your parents

    But in the stillness of the moment it takes for a Polaroid picture
    To capture our faces forever and
    The world has turned a touch on its axis
    And the only thing certain is
    That everything changes

    And they closed the Astoria
    At the end of last summer
    The place we earned our pedigrees
    Scene of our victories
    Sanctuary in the centre of London

    Now they're building a railway
    To track the vanquished to Versailles
    And singalongs on on
    But they're singing different songs
    In rooms that we don't know on the other side of the city

    But in the stillness of the moment it takes for a Polaroid picture
    To capture our faces forever and
    The world has turned a touch on its axis
    And the only thing certain is
    That everything changes

    So honey I just need a little time
    To take a little time today
    To save all the triumphs and tragedies
    Before they slip away
    Before they slip away

    Let go of the little distractions
    Hold close to the ones that you love
    Because we won't all be here this time next year
    So while you can take a picture of us

    Let go of the little distractions
    Hold close to the ones that you love
    Because we won't all be here this time next year
    So while you can take a picture of us

    Take a Polaroid picture
    (Let go of the little distractions)
    (Hold close to the ones that you love)

    Take a picture of us to show
    We all want you to see where time goes

    So in the stillness of the moment
    Make sure you take a Polaroid picture
    And keep it with you forever to
    Remind yourself that everything changes
    But there was this one time
    Man there was this one time
    When things were okay Writer/s: FRANK TURNER
