Nickelback – Photograph lyrics
Look at this photograph
Everytime I do it makes me laugh
How did our eyes get so red
And what the hell is on Joey's head

And this is where I grew up
I think the present owner fixed it up
I never knew we'd ever went without
The second floor is hard for sneaking out


And this is where I went to school
Most of the time had better things to do
Criminal record says I broke in twice
I must have done it half a dozen times

I wonder if it's too late
Should I go back and try to graduate
Life's better now then it was back then
If I was them I wouldn't let me in

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, God, I

Every memory of looking out the back door
I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.
Every memory of walking
out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.

Remember the old arcade
Blew every dollar that we ever made
The cops hated us hangin' out
They say somebody went and burned it down

We used to listen to the radio
And sing along with every song we know
We said someday we'd find out how it feels
To sing to more than just the steering wheel

Kim's the first girl I kissed
I was so nervous that I nearly missed
She's had a couple of kids since then
I haven't seen her since god knows when

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, God, I

Every memory of looking out the back door
I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.
Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.

I miss that town
I miss the faces
You can't erase
You can't replace it
I miss it now
I can't believe it
So hard to stay
Too hard to leave it

If I could I relive those days
I know the one thing that would never change

Every memory of looking out the back door
I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.
Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.

Look at this photograph
Everytime I do it makes me laugh
Everytime I do it makes me...

    This song is awesome! I love Nickelback they are an amazing band and the way that they play together and their voices are unlike any other bands. They have been around since 95 and aren't going anywhere yet! This song lets us into their lives prior to being famous and its great to know that they were just normal kids hanging out in there hometown. Oh yeah and Chad Kroeger is a total hottie!

    If you don't like the band, don't comment retard. I love Nickelback. They're amazing and they prove that a band can stick around for a long time. And chad and mike's dad can forget about claiming them as his kids cause he doesn't deserve them.
    This song is really personal for me cause I've had to move and say goodbye to everyone so many times. And thinking about it does make you miss it, but then you have to think that if it never happened, you'd never have found the friends you have now. Nickelback s one of the top ten best bands of modern rock!

    I think this song is about reflection looking back and realizing that you made it to where you wanted despite some of the things you did early in life that could have easily turned into a deterrent but instead turned out to be a guiding force (making it inspite of despiite everything that could have held you back).
