There's a picture of you in my head
And it's going like a sample around
Oh, there's a picture of you in my head
Photogenic memories, oh
Well, I could have tried harder to make it work
I guess it's no more than I deserve
And since you've been gone
Oh, I remember you in filtered images
And not exactly how you were, oh
There's a picture of you in my head
(I put you in front of me, so I don't remember)
(Help with something you used to change the world)
And it's going like a sample around
(I put you in front of me, so I don't remember)
(Help with something you used to change the world)
Oh, there's a picture of you in my head
(I put you in front of me, so I don't remember)
(Help with something you used to change the world)
Photogenic memories, oh
(I put you in front of me, so I don't remember)
('Cause I don't remember)
Two of us in a crowded room
We could be anywhere else in the world
But all I see is you
And all I want is you
Oh, I'm young and restless, I need affection
All the tension in my head
And you always said that
You gotta be somebody not somebody's
I'm never alone, but I feel it still
I wanna feel something real
Not pictures of you in my head going round and round
I can't push them out
Like summer evenings when your parents went out
And we'd lyin' in your back garden, makin' love and talkin' shit
And the sun's setting down, lights up your body in pink
How the hell do I let go of you when the memory sticks?
How the hell do I move on when it was better than this?
I hear you're happy without me and I hope that it's true
I wanna feel something like that
I wanna feel something new
Not pictures of you in my head
(I put you in front of me, so I don't remember)
(Help with something you used to change the world)
And it's going like a sample around
(I put you in front of me, so I don't remember)
(Help with something you used to change the world)
Oh, there's a picture of you in my head
(I put you in front of me, so I don't remember)
(Help with something you used to change the world)
Photogenic memories, oh-oh-oh
(I put you in front of me, so I don't remember)
(Because I don't remember)
My head
(I put you in front of me, so I don't remember)
(Help with something you used to change the world)
And it's going like a sample around
(I put you in front of me, so I don't remember)
(Help with something you used to change the world)
Oh, there's a picture of you in my head
(I put you in front of me, so I don't remember)
(Help with something you used to change the world)
Photogenic memories, oh
(I put you in front of me, so I don't remember)
(Because I don't remember)
Oh, head
(I put you in front of me, so I don't remember)
(Help with something you used to change the world)
(I put you in front of me, so I don't remember)
(Because I don't remember)
