A Picture on My Mind

Lyrics: TETSUYA KOMURO & MARC
Composition & Arrangement: TETSUYA KOMURO

Say "cheese"
My portrait's smiling at me
The fingers making a peace sign are so white and about to break

Cameras keep on evolving sometimes incredibly
So embarrassingly cute, I'll show it to someone

Wandering about the night, tearing down the city
sniffing out the streets, wanting to unlock the chains
in the stopped picture, I feign my own harmony

In a small box, the two of us, the four of us
At times about five of us
Photographing the celebratory harmony of that night, I've brought it back home

Naked eyes, the truth is I'm scared, and the truth is I'm a liar
The truth is these eyes of mine are a camera shutter
Naked eyes, the truth is, I really can't be alone
The truth is these eyes of mine are a camera shutter
Take a picture on my mind...

The small photo is fading
Take a picture on my mind...
Memories have grown to be not important
Now the funny stories are lonely
What time is it now?

I've put photos up on the white fridge, on the white toaster
I've collected the smiles I like and pasted them into a book

A model photographed on posters in the subway; ten, one hundred
Using film, choosing one photo, it's kinda unfair, yeah?

If there's something good, I'll try my best a bit
I'll show my bare feelings
In the photo there's no future, tonight too

Filling up the time I can kill with someone
Until I can meet something, until I can meet someone
Will you meet my expectations a little bit? Happening

Naked eyes, in truth gentle, in truth dubious
The truth is I'm smiling in my portrait
NAKED EYES, in truth sad, in truth lonely
The truth is these eyes of mine are a camera shutter
Take a picture on my mind...

Regret but now it's too late
Robbed of my playground
Take a picture on my mind...
In this stopped world, on frozen tears
I'm pleased to repeat myself

Wandering about the night, tearing down the city
sniffing out the streets, wanting to unlock the chains
in the stopped picture, I feign my own harmony

In a small box, the two of us, the four of us
At times about five of us
Photographing the celebratory harmony of that night, I've brought it back home

Naked eyes, the truth is I'm scared, and the truth is I'm a liar
In the photo there's no future, tonight too
Naked eyes, the truth is, I really can't be alone
The truth is these eyes of mine are a camera shutter
Take a picture on my mind
Take a picture on my mind
Take a picture on my mind
Take a picture on my mind
Take a picture on my mind
Take a picture on my mind

Naked eyes
Naked eyes
Naked eyes

La... La... La... La... La... La... La... La...

Take a picture on my mind...
Take a picture on my mind...

Say "cheese"
Hohoemikaketeru watashi no pootoreeto
Piisu maaku tsukutta yubi wa shirokute oresou

Kamera ga shinka shitsuzukete toki niwa uso no you ni
Ki ga hikeru kurai kawaii dare ni miseyou

Yoru wo samayotte machi wo kiritotte
Michi wo kagitsukete kusari wo tokitakutte
Tomatta e no naka jibun no heiwa yosotte

Chiisa na BOX futari yonin
Toki niwa gonin kurai de
Sono yoru no kinen no heiwa wo utsushite mochikaetteru

NAKED EYES hontou wa kowakute hontou wa usotsuki
Hontou wa watashi no kono me no shattaa
NAKED EYES hontou wa hitori de hontou wa irarenai
Hontou wa watashi no kono me no shattaa
take a picture on my mind...

(RAP) Chiisa na shashin iroasete yuku
take a picture on my mind...
Taisetsu demo naku natta omoide
Ima dewa waraibanashi sabishii ne
Ima nanji?

Shiroi reizouko shiroi toosutaa shashin wo hatteru
Ki ni itta egao wa atsumete BOOK ni haritsukete aru

Chikatetsu no posutaa ni utsutteru MODEL juubon mo hyakuhon mo
Firumu tsukatte ichimai erande chotto zurui ne

Ii koto aru kara sukoshi wa ganbaru
Hadaka no kimochi wo miseru yo
Shashin no naka niwa mirai wa nai kara kon'ya mo

Tsubuseru jikan wa dareka to umeteku
Nanika ni aeru made dareka ni aeru made
Kitai ni sukoshi kurai kotaete kureru no? HAPPENING

NAKED EYES hontou wa yasashii hontou wa ayashii
Hontou wa hohoenderu pootoreeto

(RAP:)REGRET BUT NOW IT'S TOO LATE
Asobiba ga ubawarete iku

Tomatta sekai kooritsuita namida no ue
Jibun wo kurikaeshite yorokonderu

Yoru wo samayotte machi wo kiritotte
Michi wo kagitsukete kusari wo tokitakutte
Tomatta e no naka jibun no heiwa yosotte

Chiisa na BOX futari yonin
Toki niwa gonin kurai de

NAKED EYES hontou wa kowakute hontou wa usotsuki
Shashin no naka niwa mirai wa nai kara kon'ya mo
