Song lyrics
I've been looking so long at these pictures of you
That I almost believe that they're real
I've been living so long with my pictures of you
That I almost believe that the pictures are
All I can feel

Remembering
You standing quiet in the rain
As I ran to your heart to be near
And we kissed as the sky fell in
Holding you close
How I always held close in your fear
Remembering
You running soft through the night
You were bigger and brighter and whiter than snow
And screamed at the make-believe
Screamed at the sky
And you finally found all your courage
To let it all go

Remembering
You fallen into my arms
Crying for the death of your heart
You were stone white
So delicate
Lost in the cold
You were always so lost in the dark
Remembering
You how you used to be
Slow drowned
You were angels
So much more than everything
Hold for the last time then slip away quietly
Open my eyes
But I never see anything

If only I'd thought of the right words
I could have held on to your heart
If only I'd thought of the right words
I wouldn't be breaking apart
All my pictures of you

Looking so long at these pictures of you
But I never hold on to your heart
Looking so long for the words to be true
But always just breaking apart
My pictures of you

There was nothing in the world
That I ever wanted more
Than to feel you deep in my heart
There was nothing in the world
That I ever wanted more
Than to never feel the breaking apart
All my pictures of you

This is an incredibly beautiful song... I can't believe they used it in an advert. I suppose the best thing about that is that it probably got more people interested in the Cure (people who wouldn't have heard of them otherwise), which is definitely a good thing.

I adore The Cure
But please, do not associate them with emo. Emo sucks. The Cure don't. You see the difference?
*sigh* I adore this song

I love this song....I heard it on a HP commercial or something and they play it all the time and now its stuck to me. I never really liked the cure before but after seeing that mtv icon show about them I'm starting to like them

my absolute favorite Cure song. Close To Me and Lullaby come close but nothing, in my opinion, comes close.
