This is a thank-you to all of our photographer friends: for the people that capture moments we can look back on in times like this. It lets us truly appreciate what it was like to spend time with friends with a clear conscious.

lyrics

Ryan owns a DSLR
He made it a habit to always have it at the ready
The photos all add up, with hundreds of me
Tens of thousands of all his friends
How did he take so many?
Some with city backdrops or gourmet food
But those silly, blurry portraits
Are such a mood
He even got my good side more than a few times
Even when I couldn't find it (Oh)

He just needs more pictures of himself
He just needs more pictures of himself

His whole camera roll is post-worthy
But a few deserve more than an Instagram engagement score
Hot off the press, printed less than 1%
To be artwork for his bedroom wall
But it's more than just the aesthetic
Cuz our memory's so pathetic
It gives the jumpstart that we need
These photos bookmark hallmark chapters of our lives
That I've been meaning to re-read

But in the meantime...
Let's take more pictures together
Let's take more pictures together

Why does no one mention the importance of a friend
That intends to document the good times?
A group shot of the hometown crew is already five years overdue
But we'll take one next time, next time, next...
Will the next time be a wedding?
Is that what we need to stop forgetting?
We need to stop forgetting
These thousands of moments in between
Are a free-for-all with our memory
And I'm worried mine won't stand a fighting chance

I don't own a DSLR
But luckily phones have cameras
To take more pictures together
Let's take more pictures together (Oh)
