about

Ever looked at a photo, and while you know it's you, it doesn't look like you?
Yeah... that's what this song is about.
Well, that and redemption.
And love.

lyrics

I don’t look like that man in the photo
I guess seasons do come and go
He looks happy, he looks free
He looks nothing like me

I don’t like that man in the photo
Musta been a long time ago
He looks ready, to be somebody
He looks nothing like me

Just you wait, you young punk
Till your boats have all sunk
We’ll see who’s smiling then

One day you’ll be a drunk
Your life will be all junk
Let’s see you smile again

I don’t look like that man in the photo
How I got here I don’t know
He looks steady, a lil crazy
Maybe I should look like me

Just you wait you old punk
Sure your boats have all sunk
But how about smiling again

You’ll always be a drunk
And life will have some junk
But let’s see you smile again

I don’t look like that man in the photo
I guess seasons do come and go
I look happy, I look free
Man it’s good to be looking like me
