[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
