Proof's in the Picture

about

This is a more 'grown up' song - I've started re-discovering my original music lately.
I found an old photo and it got me thinking about how one small decision can change the course of your life forever and that you'll never know where a different decision might have taken you.
I was also reflecting on the fact that even if we have had similar experiences to other people, we will never truly know how they feel.
AND I was thinking about honesty....and how much I value people being honest and find it hard to connect with people who are not honest. Tom created the coolest R&B track and I added several harmonies, then tried some speaking in the intro and one of the verses. I created a video on the fly too - it was almost synchronistic.

lyrics

You can say you understand
And take my hand into your hand
But you’re never gunna know what it’s like
You can nod and say “I see”
And you can say that you agree
But you’re never gunna know what it’s like

If I’d have known as I got older
How the story would unfold ‘ha’
I never would’ve taken that road
And though we can’t predict the future
All I know is that I suit ya
And boy have I been carryin’ that load

You can say I made my bed
And I should lie in it instead
But you’re never gunna know what it’s like
You can get off you’re high horse
It looks like yours has gone off course
And you’re never gunna know what it’s like

If I’d have known way back when
You’d score a 9 out of 10
I never would’ve taken that road
I thought your future would be brighter
Your shoulders would be lighter
But it seems that you’ve been carryin’ that load

CHORUS
Proof’s in the picture
It’s fueling my fire
Proof’s in the picture
And there’s no way that you can deny it

You can say what’s mine is yours
To open up the doors
But you’re never gunna know what it’s like
You can take over the show
While I go with the flow
But ya never gunna know what it’s like

If I’d have known this would happen
And that you’d be lappin’ it up
Would I have changed my mind
Well the truth is I doubt it
Nothin’ I can do about it now
I’ve gotta leave it behind
