1935
Sometimes it feels
We didn't put in any effort at all
Always placing the blame
And pointing out every fault
We both new the wound was open
So we threw on the salt
What did we do?
I was at my grandmothers
Staring at the pictures that she had
It was a 1935 portrait
Of my great-grandmother and great-granddad
They didn't have a dime
How come they didn’t look as sad
As me and you?
(Chorus)
An old photograph showed me love
At a time when you just had to survive
Having it so much better
Makes me feel like we never tried
So darling let me try to love you
One more time
And we’ll hold on to one another
Like it’s 1935
Black and white memories
Of people I didn't know
God gave them one another
And one another gave them hope
Commitment sure has changed
And in this picture it really shows
And that’s the truth
Maybe we
Just weren’t tough enough
As soon as we weren't happy
We thought we fell out of love
Instead of pulling away
I should have leaned on you when things got tough
Thats what I didn't do
(Chorus)
(Guitar Solo)
(Chorus)
