Portrait Lyrics

Life slow down
You've gone too fast
And words begin to mean a little less

Bones stay strong
Cause the road ahead is long
And every voice will miss us when we're gone

Take a portrait, 25 let me hear you singing it out
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba [x2]
Let me hear you singing it out
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba

Skin don't stretch
It's way too new
And those who look back are only the fools

Take a portrait, 25 let me hear you singing it out
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Yeah I'm singing it out
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Let me hear you singing it out
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba [x2]

Years don't come too soon
And days be long and light
Future you can wait
Cause time's still on our side

Take a portrait, 25 let me hear you singing it out
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba [x2]
Let me hear you singing it out
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Yeah you're singing it out
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Oh sing it out
You're free to come alive
You're free to come tonight
