Loving can hurt, loving can hurt sometimes 
But it's the only thing that I know 
When it gets hard, you know it can get hard sometimes 
It's the only thing that makes us feel alive 

We keep this love in a photograph 
We made these memories for ourselves 
Where our eyes are never closing 
Our hearts were never broken 
And time's forever frozen, still 

So you can keep me 
Inside the pocket of your ripped jeans 
Holding me close until our eyes meet 
You won't ever be alone, wait for me [bad word] home 

Loving can heal, loving can mend your soul 
And it's the only thing that I know 
I swear it will get easier, remember that we're never repeating ya 
And it's the only thing to take with us when we die 

We keep this love in a photograph 
We made these memories for ourselves 
Where our eyes are never closing 
Our hearts were never broken 
And time's forever frozen, still 

So you can keep me 
Inside the pocket of your ripped jeans 
Holding me close until our eyes meet 
You won't ever be alone 

And if you hurt me 
That's okay baby, there'll be worse things 
Inside these pages you just hold me 
And I won't ever let you go 
Wait for me [bad word] home [3x] 

You can keep me 
Inside the necklace you bought when you were sixteen 
Next to your heartbeat where I should be 
Keep it deep within your soul 

And if you hurt me 
That's okay baby, there'll be worse things 
Inside these pages you just hold me 
And I won't ever let you go 

When I'm going, I will remember how you kissed me 
Under the lamppost back on Sixth street 
Hearing you whisper through the phone 
Wait for me [bad word] home
