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 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 Get me off of this rollercoaster I could feel better knowing that it's almost over We were falling off the rails, going upside-down, Then it stopped at the top and I fell right out When the brakes hit, my whole soul jolted forward And to think I would've 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: Time is on my side No you aint hearing nothing from me Since that day you lied I learned the hot way talking is cheap I'm a magnet for these kinds Why they always come looking for me? Got those lips that stain like wine Sounds just fine, yeah 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 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 going, 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 them just to strip them down But keep them on the ground Time is on my side Every day passed feels like a week Since that day you lied You don't say anything I believe I'm a magnet for this kind So I know i did the right thing Maybe we'll be fine But it's really not likely, yeah I wish I still had my Polaroid of you Not because I want you back, just because I really love you And 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 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
