Lyrics

There’s mom and dad beside an old Ford
Big smiles in 1984
Back before they had me and my brother
Life was good, it was easy street
We came along and so did plan B
Dad lost his job and his love for my mother

I want to be in that picture
When they were in love and every time he kissed her
It was right out of a movie that you’d see on the big screen
Standing beside them when he held her
Thinking they’d always be together, before it got bitter
I want to be in that picture

Here’s one from my birthday
He said he would, but he never came
You can see the pain on the face of my mother
Blowing out candles on a chocolate cake
My only gift my mother made
When all I wanted was the presence of my father

I want him to be in that picture
When they were in love and every time he kissed her
It was right out of a movie that you’d see on the big screen
Standing beside them when he held her
Thinking they’d always be together, before it got bitter
I want him to be in that picture
I want to be in that picture
