When The Booth Goes Bright

What do you see when the booth goes bright

In the blinding light

When the flash tries to find you

Every photo of every face

Is a time and place that you leave behind

There's the girl you were

There's your trip abroad

There's your father's smile

There's the face of God

There is everything that you were and you still wanna be

What do you see

When the booth goes bright

♪

There's a girl from the factory

And she's on your knee

Though you've known her a week

And you're both so shy

But she makes you laugh

And that photograph when she kisses your cheek

There's when she said yes

There's the next ten years

There's the loneliness when she disappears

There's the face that you still remember

Though no longer

Where do you go

What happens when the booth goes bright

Where do you go when you're out of you

What's the use in trying to hide

Or tearing yourself in two

When you leave yourself behind

Every piece becomes another clue

Pull the curtain tight

And adjust the seat

Lean into the light

Don't forget to breathe

And if someday your travels should bring you to me

I'll see what you see

When the booth goes bright
