“In the Picture Tonight”

Verse 1

I’m sitting on the couch, lights down low,

Got the world in my hands with a single control,

Click after click, every channel a dream,

Living different lives through a glowing screen.

Pre-Chorus

Every button tells a story, every sound pulls me in,

From the silence of my room to the noise within.

Chorus

With a remote in my hand, I can go anywhere,

Through the television light, I’m already there,

Every picture comes alive, like it’s calling my name,

In the frame of the night, nothing stays the same.

Verse 2

Black and white memories, colors so bright,

Dancing through the shadows of a quiet night,

Faces in the picture, but they feel so real,

Like they know every thought, every way I feel.

Pre-Chorus

I don’t need a ticket, don’t need a plane,

Just a little signal running through my veins.

Chorus

With a remote in my hand, I can go anywhere,

Through the television light, I’m already there,

Every picture comes alive, like it’s calling my name,

In the frame of the night, nothing stays the same.

Bridge

But when the screen goes dark and the silence grows,

I’m left with the echoes of the world I chose,

Is it just illusion or a place I belong?

A thousand different lives in a single song.

Final Chorus

With a remote in my hand, I can go anywhere,

Through the television light, I’m already there,

Every picture fades away when the morning’s in sight,

But I’ll be back again… in the picture tonight.
