hold the camera high
let me under your skin
it's the greatest life
when you let it in, and then it ends
all your friends are near
telling all their jokes
telling tales of old
spilling on your clothes
we all are waiting (for the day to break)
take another picture honey (take it in all the way)
we all are waiting (for you to break)
but no way
now swing on the highest swing
knock those buggers down
take another look
who is standing now
who is standing now
get her in a room all alone
so you can tell her it was real
tell her everything, that you think she needs to hear
like, 'it's the greatest life! what a lovely day! you're the best i had! why'd you go away? why'd you go away?'
