Ross Wylde - The Photographer (Catch Me If You Can) Lyrics

I saw you walking at Pompeii
Your figure like those statues
Masterpieces on display
But their stone flesh couldn't match you

I watched you as you looked away
To spring Actaeon's arrow
All the ruins, love, can wait
So strike me with your crossbow

Minds will change, time will pass
Trap them in your photographs
Catch me if you can

Oh, to be beneath your skin
You're hollow, I can hear it
Kodachrome preserves the paradise we're in
And outside, I can't bear it

You saw me beneath the sun, above the grass
Pulled me close so swiftly
But when you left, you left twice as fast
And took the gifts you gave me

Minds will change, time will pass
Trap them in your photographs
Catch me if you can

I tried so hard to cast away
The night you finally kissed me
All our young halcyon days
And heroes that you made me

Flames took flight across the sky
I lost the ground below me
Rage erupting 'cross my mind
Replaced the gods you showed me

I kept your photographs
What a shame it didn't last
What could I have done
