"It Was Real To Me" lyrics

Do I remember right
It was halfway through fall on a Friday night
You were ahead of me
In the crowd at the bar down on 47th Street
You had your camera
And I'd come to keep all those images
I've got a gathering
Of pictures you're never in

Were we ever in the same place?
It was real to me
Were we ever in the same place?
It was real to me

Ooh
Ooh

Those words that were never said
The plans that we made that were never kept
The letter I never sent
And all of the time that I thought that we had left
And the evidence you were even there
Is your absence from the frame
In a photograph of your favorite friends
That you took of us in Maine

Were we ever in the same place?
It was real to me
Were we ever in the same place?
It was real to me

I feel like I'm losing track
You're there when I'm looking back
But you're not in the photograph
And the question remains

Were we ever in the same place?
It was real to me
Were we ever in the same place?
It was real to me
