Peter Hollens - Photograph Lyrics






Loving can hurt
Loving can hurt sometimes
But it's the only thing that I know
When it gets hard
You know it can get hard sometimes
It's the only thing that makes us feel alive

We keep this love in a photograph
We made these memories for ourselves
Where our eyes are never closing
Our hearts were never broken
And time's forever frozen still

So you can keep me
Inside the pocket of your ripped jeans
Holding me close until our eyes meet
You won't ever be alone
Wait for me to come home

Loving can heal
Loving can mend your soul
And it's the only thing that I know
I swear it will get easier
Remember that we're never repeating yeah
And it's the only thing to take with us when we die

We keep this love in a photograph
We made these memories for ourselves
Where our eyes are never closing
Our hearts were never broken
And time's forever frozen, still

So you can keep me
Inside the pocket of your ripped jeans
Holding me close until our eyes meet
You won't ever be alone
And if you hurt me
That's okay baby
There'll be worse things
Inside these pages you just hold me
And I won't ever let you go
Wait for me to come home
Wait for me to come home
Wait for me to come home
Wait for me to come home

You can keep me
Inside the necklace you bought when you were sixteen
Next to your heartbeat where I should be
Keep it deep within your soul
And if you hurt me
That's okay baby
There'll be worse things
Inside these pages you just hold me
And I won't ever let you go

When I'm gone
I will remember how you kissed me
Under the lamppost back on Sixth street
Hearing you whisper through the phone
Wait for me to come home

    It was years ago when it was released
    Now i'm back here to enjoy what i've lost once so that the forgotten has it chance to be remembered again

  4. S.... ....

    This cover deserves a lot of praise.

  5. M.... J....

    You should do "Perfect" by Ed Sheeran. It's one of my favorites and I would love to hear you sing it! :)

  6. L.... S....

    No sabes cuánto te extraño ..😞. Gordita..

  7. P.... ....

  19. A.... A....

    My wife left nearly 3 months ago now, needs to find herself, no longer in love, got married too young, never had adventures.

    I say all that to say, this is the first time I am hearing this song since that moment. We both enjoy your music, and I want to say, you touch people with your work. For example, you would never have known this but we were trying for a child, and both listened to your "Into the West " cover over and over so that if we ever did have a child, we could sing it that as a lulaby.

    Thank you for all you do

  20. Z.... Z....

    I can't believe this video has existed for so many years and I've only just discovered it..! I love you both and I never imagined you'd done a video together 💖💖 I'm so happy you did!!!

  21. 3.... (....

    I almost heard "donald trump" in the first few moments of the song 0:05

  22. L.... M....

    Wow! This sounds like a whole big band. Goodness!! The blend of voices is incredible.

  23. M.... ....

    Still my favorite version of this song! (3 years and still a favorite on my playlist.)

  24. R.... S....

    fantastic!!!

  25. N.... W....

    This song gives me nostalgia and takes me back to the summer of 2015. When I had boy-short hair, lounging by the pool at Juniper Swim and Fitness Center, and when I met my favorite band near the end of the summer. 😊

  26. J.... C....

    Hey Peter! This is an amazing cover! I absolutely love it. You have an amazing voice! I watch your videos all the time. You are such an inspiration!
    We know you probably get requests like this all the time, but we would really love it if you would check out our cover of Photograph: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOD8fO7bYH0
    Make sure to subscribe and spread the word! My brother and I just started an a cappella youtube channel called Arkappella, and we would appreciate the support!

  30. W.... W....

    It must have been hard to get all of the takes you needed and capture that very specific lighting. Did you have to shoot multiple days in a row, or did you manage it all in one go?

  59. Z.... B....

    Hey Peter Hollens,First off dude you are amazing. I found your music and I have now been wondering what I have been missing out on all this time you have been out there. You are great.  I was wondering if you could maybe do "Its not easy to be me" by five for fighting. It is a song that has always been ispirational to me to be who I am and have confidence in what I do, and what I like to do. You are a symbol of that for me so yea that would be awesome have a great one.
    -Zak

  60. R.... ....
