Jeffrey Lesser - The World Inside a Frame lyrics

[ROBERT] It starts with the light It's like you wouldn't even know which way to look Until the sun showed you a line Showed you a corner Built you a frame And once there's a frame Then you can see [He walks to her, points at the bridge.] See? [He puts the camera in front of her.] Now: see? See the world! Here's the world through a small, small window You thought it was a bridge You thought it was the water You thought it was the sky... It's the world, inside a frame And you wait And you wait And you wait And you... Right there, something shifted! Something... That tree threw a shadow! Did you…? [Excited but controlled, he clicks the shutter.] There! There! There! It's like all you didn't know that you were waiting for Is just outside the frame And it can change The way you see… [He lowers the camera.] See the world! Here's the world in a box forever [He looks at FRANCESCA and sees something.] Go stand over there [She walks to where he's pointing. He raises the camera to his eye.] Don't look at me Now: Look at me Look at me There. There. There. There. There [He continues taking pictures of her, until the roll is finished.] There's the world There's the world in your face, Francesca
