Lyrics
You got that pinprick burn behind your left eye again,

The whole damn room is just a soft-focus frame,
A double-exposure ghost where you used to be.
[Chorus]
'Cause your grief's got a shutter lag, honey, it's slow to appear,
A negative burn on the best part of the year.
[Verse 2]

[Bridge]
Leaning on the cold steel of the prep station sink,
You whispered, "I just need a minute not to think."
[Outro]
The shutter lag...
Just a shutter lag...
