song lyrics

All these photographs you snapped
Electrified me, as I tapped
Into feelings I had always longed to feel;
You made my framed fantasies so real.

Chorus
I hope you didn't mind that I did
Live the life vicarious through you.
You'd such good memories that I
Just couldn't help but see you through.
Relishing your every word,
Though I know it seems absurd.

All these sequences you shot
Left me breathless, as I bought
Into feelings I had always longed to feel.
You made my framed fantasies so real.

Chorus

Didn't mean at first to discount my existence;
Yet your every moment shattered my resistance.
(2x)

I hope you didn't mind that I did
Live the life vicarious through you.
You'd such good memories that I
Just couldn't help but see you through.
And the sad thing's I'd be fine
Cherishing your trials, forsaking mine.
