Camera Shy

So well composed, you seem like absolute perfection
Much too perfect for a boy who is used to big rejection
So I, I watch you through a lens just slightly out of focus
You're so flawless in your smile
Although you never seem to notice

And I, I never really thought that you'd be mine
Not in my dreams for a minute
I never really thought that you'd be mine
I'm telling myself to forget it
You wouldn't understand
That you inspire me and fuel my photography
I never really thought that you'd be mine
I know that I'm just a dreamer

But you never really know when worlds collide
It could create something special
Or maybe we would just all explode and die
I guess I'm just too camera shy

I never really thought that you'd be mine
Not in my dreams for a minute
I never really thought that you'd be mine
I'm telling myself to forget it
You wouldn't understand
That you inspire me and fuel my photography
I never really thought that you'd be mine
I guess that I'm too camera shy

Alone in my darkroom, I hang pictures that are drying
All the pictures are of you, and it's hard to keep from crying
When I, I only see you through a lens that's telescopic
And you don't know that I'm there
But you're still my only topic

And I, I never really thought that you'd be mine
Not in my dreams for a minute
I never really thought that you'd be mine
I'm telling myself to forget it
You wouldn't understand
That you inspire me and fuel my photography
I never really thought that you'd be mine
I know that I'm just a dreamer

But you never really know when the worlds collide
It could create something special
Or maybe we would just all explode and die
I guess I'm just too camera shy

I never really thought that you'd be mine
Not in my dreams for a minute
I never really thought that you'd be mine
I'm telling myself to forget it
You wouldn't understand
That you inspire me and fuel my photography
I never really thought that you'd be mine
I guess that I'm too camera shy
