  • Lost in a picture frame
    The way our bodies used to behave
    The way we smiled in the moment
    Before they permanently froze
    But that was the old me and you
    When we were both lookers

    Lost in a picture frame
    The way my body used to behave
    The way I smiled in the moment
    Before it permanently froze
    But that was the old me
    I was such a looker in the old days
    You little Kerouac
    Always running like Dean and Sal
    Always waiting on a freight train
    Always looking for a story to tell
    But that was the old you
    You were such a looker in the old days

    Sha la la la
    Jersey girls are always total heartbreakers
    Julie from the Wonder Bar
    I still wonder where you are
    Cause I know the old you
    And you know the old me

    I was certain that I'd find her
    In the back of the diner
    In a cloud full of nicotine
    In a teenage memory
    That I hold till eternity
    Cause the future ain't coming for it

    Sha la la la
    Jersey girls are always total heartbreakers
    Julie from the Wonder Bar
    I still wonder where you are

    Sha la la la
    Jersey girls are always total heartbreakers
    Julie from the Wonder Bar
    I still wonder where you are
    Cause I know the old you
    And you know the old me
    When we were both lookers

    In a 5"x8" black and white
    On the night stand of my mind
    From a time I hardly recognize

    Sha la la la
    Jersey girls are always total heartbreakers
    Julie from the Wonder Bar
    I still wonder where you are

    Sha la la la
    Jersey girls are always total heartbreakers
    Julie from the Wonder Bar
    I still wonder where you are
    Cause I know the old you
    And you know the old me
    When we were both lookers Writer/s: ERIC JOSEPH KEEN, GREG BARNETT, JOSEPH GODINO, THOMAS F. MAY
