Lyrics

Empty Polaroids, waiting to develop, slow
Every one a moment, I already know
Shake it in the sunlight, watch the colors grow
Empty Polaroids, still in the show
Shot the whole day with my eyes wide open
Every frame a feeling, nothing left unspoken
Keeping lights in morning, glowing on the street
Cross talk in the plaza, everybody's heartbeat, yeah
Glow frame in the window, soft Kermit in the air
A broken arcade, blinking beauty everywhere
Glass river in the afternoon, hollow signal loud, yeah, yeah
City sleepwalk easy, moving through the crowd, that's it
Elevator rising, flicker district bright
Midnight paper bag open, city holding light
Don't need to keep them all, no, just need to feel the day
Empty Polaroids, showing me the way
Every undeveloped frame, holds a little gold
Empty Polaroids, better than what's sold
Empty Polaroids, waiting to develop, slow
Every one a moment, I already know, yeah
Shake it in the sunlight, watch the colors grow
Empty Polaroids, still in the show
Sneakers on the pavement, soft bounce in my strides
A bass in my chest like something warm inside
Electric piano, three notes and I'm home
Jazzy guitar landing, never feel alone
Stack of empty frames in my jacket back pocket
Today fills them up, nothing here to stop it
Vendor tips his chin, but reach the closet right
Kid chasing, pigeon city taking flight
Every ordinary thing worth one more frame
Empty Polaroid, each one holds a name
Some days I move fast, some days I drift slow
Some days the city whispers, some days it lets go
But every single day, I pull the camera out
Empty Polaroid ready, that's what it's about
The image comes in gradual, the way good things do
Warm tones bleeding outward, orange into blue
I don't chase the perfect shot, no
I chase the honest one
Empty Polaroid of a day
Live well under the sun
Shake it in the light, shake it in the light
Empty Polaroid
Every day is right
No need to keep them all
Just need to feel the day
Empty Polaroid
Showing me the way
Every undeveloped frame
Holds a little gold
Empty Polaroid
Better than what's sold
Empty Polaroid
Waiting to develop slow
I already know
Shake it in the sunlight
Watch the colors grow
Empty Polaroid
Stealing the show
Empty Polaroid
Paper like glass river
City sleepwalk on
Pockets grow forever
Never walk alone
Develop slow
