Wiki:

"Photograph" is a song recorded by the English singer-songwriter, Ed Sheeran, for his second studio album, x (2014). Sheeran wrote the song with Snow Patrol member, Johnny McDaid, who had a piano loop from which the composition developed. After recording several versions with other producers, Sheeran eventually solicited help from Jeff Bhasker; the collaboration generated a version that Bhasker further enhanced for months. The ballad derives its music primarily from an acoustic guitar, piano and programmed drums. With visually descriptive lyrics, it discusses a long-distance relationship inspired by Sheeran's own experience of being away from his then-girlfriend while he was on tour.

[Verse 1] Loving can hurt, loving can hurt sometimes But it's the only thing that I know When it gets hard, you know it can get hard sometimes It is the only thing that makes us feel alive [Pre-Chorus] We keep this love in a photograph We made these memories for ourselves Where our eyes are never closing Our hearts were never broken And time's forever frozen, still [Chorus] So you can keep me Inside the pocket of your ripped jeans Holding me close until our eyes meet You won't ever be alone, wait for me to come home [Verse 2] Loving can heal, loving can mend your soul And it's the only thing that I know, know I swear it will get easier, remember that with every piece of ya And it's the only thing to take with us when we die [Pre-Chorus] We keep this love in a photograph We made these memories for ourselves Where our eyes are never closing Our hearts were never broken And time's forever frozen, still [Chorus] So you can keep me Inside the pocket of your ripped jeans Holding me close until our eyes meet You won't ever be alone And if you hurt me, that's okay, baby Only words bleed inside these pages, you just hold me And I won't ever let you go Wait for me to come home [Bridge] Wait for me to come home Wait for me to come home Wait for me to come home [Chorus] Oh, you can fit me Inside the necklace you got when you were 16 Next to your heartbeat where I should be Keep it deep within your soul And if you hurt me, that's okay, baby Only words bleed inside these pages You just hold me And I won't ever let you go [Outro] When I'm away, I will remember how you kissed me Under the lamppost back on Sixth street Hearing you whisper through the phone "Wait for me to come home"
