Peak Camera Era
From I Don’t Quite Know How to Say It, So I’m Singing It. Written and recorded by Rain Lee Lin Jun.
Lyrics
[Verse]
I took photos like a promise
Like the light would never leave
Every smile had a deadline
Every frame had room to breathe
Sunway mornings, rooftop evenings
Someone laughing out of place
I was hiding in the camera
But still somehow in the frame
[Pre Chorus]
Click, click, another memory
Save it before it fades
I didn’t know I was collecting
Proof of better days
[Chorus]
This was my peak camera era
Every friend became a scene
Every road and every café
Looked like something from a dream
This was my peak camera era
Before I knew what time could do
I was trying to keep the world
Before the world kept moving through
[Verse]
We had group chats full of nonsense
Plans that changed a thousand times
Someone hungry, someone missing
Someone saying, “Bro, I’m fine”
I was almost fully grown up
But still soft around the truth
Taking pictures of the people
Who were helping me be youth
[Pre Chorus]
And maybe every photo
Is a small unfinished prayer
Please let this stay gentle
Please let us stay there
[Chorus]
This was my peak camera era
Every friend became a scene
Every road and every café
Looked like something from a dream
This was my peak camera era
Before I knew what time could do
I was trying to keep the world
Before the world kept moving through
[Bridge]
If I zoom in
I can hear us
If I look back
I can feel us
Not perfect
Not forever
But for one year
We were together
[Chorus]
This was my peak camera era
Light on faces, food on plates
Running late and laughing louder
Turning months to golden days
This was my peak camera era
And I know the years have changed
But somewhere in the old files
We are still the same
[Outro]
Click, click
Save the light
Click, click
Goodnight
