How You Got Your Picture on the Wall

from How You Got Your Picture on the Wall by Advance Base

lyrics

Growing up in Richmond
you were anarchic & shy
Tried to steal some tampons
that you were too scared to buy
"Say cheese" the Kroger manager said
in his fateful drawl
That was how you got your picture on the wall

You told me the story
the first night that we hung out
A thousand miles west
in your new room in your new house
You laughed when I said
"I'd like to see that photo now"
& we kissed beneath the pictures on your wall

A couple Julys later
& we live together now
I drove your van to Richmond
to move your kid brother out
& cruising by the Kroger
I remembered all about
Laney, how you got your picture on the wall

I snuck around the back
to where deliveries arrive
I saw a door said MANAGER
& so I went inside
A grid of Polaroids stared
Yours stared hardest of them all
That was how I got your picture off the wall

That was how I got your picture off the wall
