lyrics

The Big Picture (Dargan)

I held the glass up to my eye
But I can’t find the target
No matter how I try
You swore it wasn’t hard to see
I believe that I’d be braver
If you still were standing next to me

I have walked this stretch alone
And I still smell the ocean
Every time I skip a stone
Now you’d walk again with me
I don’t know where you’re looking
I have never known just what you see

Take one step back…

My feet would find their way back home
Running right beside you
Or walking all alone
To pour the sand out of my shoes
A picture postcard morning
In November pinks and blues

Take one step back
Look at where you’re going
Take one step back
Think of where we’ve been
Take one step back
Try to see it coming back…

I don’t think I’ll ever find a day
Dawning quite so perfectly
As that we threw away
But in my mind I hold the scene
Standing on that beach there
We will always be nineteen

Take one step back
Look at where you’re going
Take one step back
Think of where we’ve been
Take one step back
Watch it now, it’s coming back again

about

Sean Michael Dargan Madison, Wisconsin

Sean Michael Dargan is almost too tall, standing six feet, four inches in his favorite black-and-white saddle shoes. On a good day he writes and plays pop rock in the vein of Nick Lowe, Elvis Costello, Aimee Mann, and the Gin Blossoms. Guitar and voice are his main instruments, but if you’re not nice he’ll go get out his bagpipes. ... more
