Polaroid

[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
