[Intro/Chorus]

Last night I burned a Polaroid of you

Not because I want you dead

But because I really love you

How you got inside my head

I don’t know I’ll never learn

Now I’m breathing in the fumes of your photo while it burns

[Chorus]

Last night I burned a Polaroid of you

Not because I want you dead

But because I really love you

How you got inside my head

I don’t know I’ll never learn

Now I’m breathing in the fumes of your photo while it burns

[Verse 1]

Get me off of this roller coaster

I can feel better knowing that it’s almost over

We were falling out the rails going upside down

Then it stopped at the top and I fell right out

When the breaks hit my old soul jolted forward

And to think I would have come out my corner for her

Now it’s all I got to think about, so think about me

When you pour your next drink up out, and maybe sing aloud

[Pre-Chorus]

Time is on my side

No you ain’t hearing nothing from me

Since that day you lied

I learned that highway talking is cheap

A magnet for these kinds

Why they always come looking for me?

Got those lips that stain like wine

Sounds just fine, yeah

[Chorus]

Last night I burned a Polaroid of you

Not because I want you dead

But because I really love you

How you got inside my head

I don’t know I’ll never learn

Now I’m breathing in the fumes of your photo while it burns

Last night I had a nightmare about you

Not because you were around

But because I was without you

How to get you out my head

I don’t know I’ll never learn

That the world doesn’t care about our feelings when it turns

[Verse 2]

Get me off of this carousel

If I go ‘round any longer I’ll be scared as hell

My mind keeps playing tricks saying get back on, sit back

Keep that calm, relax, it’s mad fun

It’s a good thing I guess that I’m miles away

If I flew private planes, then I would fly out today

And it’s all that I can picture now

So pull the pictures out

And hang ‘em just to strip ‘em down

But keep ‘em on the ground

[Pre-Chorus]

Time is on my side

Every day passed feels like a week

Since that day you lied

And don’t say anything I believe

A magnet for this kind

So I’ll know I did the right thing

Maybe we’ll be fine

But it’s really not likely, yeah

[Bridge]

I wish I still had my Polaroid of you

Not because I want you back

Just because I really love you

You say you want the best for me

And dare I say the same

If I put my last photo of you

Right inside a flame

[Chorus]

Last night I burned a Polaroid of you

Not because I want you dead

But because I really love you

How you got inside my head

I don’t know I’ll never learn

Now I’m breathing in the fumes of your photo while it burns

Last night I had a nightmare about you

Not because you were around

But because I was without you

How to get you out my head

I don’t know I’ll never learn

That the world doesn’t care about our feelings when it turns
