James Sleeman - Pictures Lyrics

A kindergarten picture
Of only you
Been alone forever
Nobody liked you
All alone on the playground
No one wanted to be friends
But the demons come knocking
All the time

I watch from the sidelines
Not knowing what to do
Just another stranger
Like all of us are too
I'd rather climb a mountain
Than be stuck here with you
It doesn't get much better
It only gets worse

A middle school picture
Of only you
Wallowing in your solitude
Wearing dirty tennis shoes
No friends to hang out with
On Friday nights
Just the demons inside of you
Gearing up for a fight

I watch from the sidelines
Not knowing what to do
Just another stranger
Like all of us are too
I'd rather climb a mountain
Than be stuck here with you
It doesn't get much better
It only gets worse

A high school picture
Of only you
Still alone
Needing to be born anew
And one day it'll come
And those demons will flee
That's something I can promise
It's a guarantee

I watch from the sidelines
Not knowing what to do
Just another stranger
Like all of us are too
I'd rather climb a mountain
Than be stuck here with you
It doesn't get much better
It only gets worse
