The Awkward Stage

Only Good Days Caught On Camera
We cried before and after you caught us in mid laughterAnd you'd think we always laughed But we act in every photograph andWe can never just be ourselvesWe can only portray ourselvesAnd that is why its true the world overWe have to be told to smileIts true the world over we have to be told to smileAnd smiles are never freeOur only good days caught on cameraAre only good days caught on camera?They sent a time capsule up into outer spaceAnd it held our greatest accomplishmentsBut I think that it misrepresents Where is the page from the diary of the teenage, heart broken, fat girl?And where are the lynching deaths?The road rage, the crystal meth?And the church-fuls of monsters that kept us from loving Whose smiles were never freeOur only good days caught on cameraAre only good days caught on camera?And that is why its true the world over we have to be told to smileAnd that is why our smiles are never free (the victors pen history)Our only good days caught on cameraAre only good days caught on camera?
