The photographer's impatient
As the train pulls out of the station
And you're heading further south
Than I thought you'd ever go
The streets are filling up with snow
The ice floe has no place to go
So I'm opening my doors
And telling everyone I know
I can't pose for this portrait without you
The light is fading fast on what is true
I can't pose for this portrait without you
The family's in the line behind us
Trying to get through
There's honey in the chemicals
Honey in the chemicals
You hide so well that nothing shows
You can't lock eyes with one who knows
And every sheet that comes out white
Reminds me of that night
If you were here, I'd look complete
The cameras wouldn't have to cheat
Something in the photo map
Would make us all so sweet
I can't pose for this portrait without you
The light is fading fast on what is true
I can't pose for this portrait without you
The family's in the line behind us
Trying to get through
There's honey in the chemicals
Honey in the chemicals
Your car wheel's spinning in a ditch
Your father called you one cold bitch
He said he would have hit you
But he didn't have the strength
The house is filling up with smoke
I'm getting high on Jack and Coke
The kitchen pipes are frozen
And your world is at arm's length
I can't pose for this portrait without you
The light is fading fast on what is true
I can't pose for this portrait without you
The family's in the line behind us
Trying to get through
There's honey in the chemicals
Honey in the chemicals
Honey in the chemicals
Honey in the chemicals
Honey in the chemicals
Honey in the chemicals
Honey in the chemicals
Honey in the chemicals
Honey in the chemicals
Honey in the chemicals
Honey in the chemicals
Honey in the chemicals
Honey in the chemicals
Honey in the chemicals
Honey in the chemicals
Honey in the chemicals
Honey in the chemicals
