Taken - Bill Callahan

In every photograph of me

Taken by you

I look like a dog

The family dog

Just staring like nobody’s business

Just staring back at the lens like I know what’s going on

In every photograph of me

Taken by you

I look like a dog

The family dog

Across my mouth there is something

Can you call it a smile

'Cause do dogs smile?

And smiles can fade

Smiles can fade

And this look on my face

Will never fade away

Never fade away

In every photograph of me

Taken by you

I look like a dog

The family dog

Just staring like nobody’s business

Just staring back at the lens like I know what’s going on

And in my eyes there is a look

In my eyes there is a look

Like I will never be able to tell you

Just how I feel about you

But I’ll try

Oh I’ll try

Oh oh oh I’ll try (try)

Oh oh oh I’ll try (try)

Oh oh oh I’ll try (try)

Oh oh oh I’ll try (try)
