Man in the photograph I've seen you before
But I just don't know where
You seem so forlorn in this world you were thrown
In the sepia frame

You used to pretend that your life wouldn't change
'Til you started it over again
And then came the day that they sent you away
And a war wrote your own requiem

(Na na na na, na na na na na na)
Man in the photograph facing away
I will see you again
Behind all the lies and these family ties
You are trapped by the lens

And if I can't dream I can make it all real
And the past won't seem distant at all
I'll cover my eyes and I'll wear this disguise
And I'll climb up the crumbling wall
(Na na na na, na na na na na na)
