[Verse 1]
Purple roses on the backseat in a pile
While your engine idles like a tortured choir
Holding out
For what you're never quite sure of

[Chorus]
Saw your name in lights, I remember
Momentary light, takes forever
Oh, so camera shy
Almost out of time

[Verse 2]
Swerving slowly through an empire in decline
Paratroopers pull their chutes and gently glide
Floating down
To where they're never quite sure of

[Chorus]
Saw your name in lights, I remember
Momentary light, takes forever
Oh, so camera shy
Almost out of time

[Bridge]
Careful what you wish for
Demolition eyes
There was something more, I just don't know how to describe
Everything you came for
Caught you by surprise
So now you're death-defying
[Chorus]
Saw your name in lights, I remember
Momentary light, takes forever
Oh, so camera shy
Almost out of time
