Song lyrics

Man we used to be brothers
Superheroes and warriors
Cowboys and Indians, train drivers, everything
Rolling through the endless summers

But everything changes
You got married, had children
And I don't have your number, the one I can remember
Is the place you used to live with your parents

But in the stillness of the moment it takes for a polaroid picture
To capture our faces forever
The world has turned a touch on its axis, and the only thing certain
Is everything changes

Man they closed the Astoria
At the end of last summer
The place we earned our pedigree, scene of our victories
A sanctuary in the centre of London

Now they're building a railway
To drag the vanquished to Versailles
And the singalongs go on, but they're singing different songs
In rooms that we don't know on the other side of the city

But in the stillness of the moment it takes for a polaroid picture
To capture our faces forever
The world has turned a touch on its axis, and the only thing certain
Is everything changes

So honey, I just need a little time to take a little time with today
To savour all the triumph and tragedy, before it slips away
Before it slips away

Let go of the little distractions
Hold close to the ones that you love
Because we won't all be here this time next year
So while you can take a picture of us

Take a polaroid picture
Take a picture of us to show we've been watching to see where the time goes

So in the stillness of the moment make sure you take a polaroid picture
And keep it with you forever
To remind yourself that everything changes
But there was this one time, there was this one time, when things were OK
