Handbags Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I took a photo
So long ago
It was nothing special
But it didn't have it all

[Chorus]
You wouldn't even hear the reasons
I never even made the call

[Verse 2]
I took a picture
I do recall
It was something special
But it didn't fill a hole

[Chorus Repeat]

[Bridge]
It was a special thing
You don't even know
I could never be
So very slow

[Chorus Repeat]
