Camera Shy Songtext
von Local Natives

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
Saw your name in lights
I remember
Momentary life
Takes forever
Ohh so camera shy
Almost out of time
Swerving slowly through an empire in decline
Paratroopers pull their chutes and gently glide
Floating down
To where they're never quite sure of
Saw your name in lights
I remember


Momentary life
Takes forever
Ohh so camera shy
Almost out of time
Careful what you wish for
Demolition eyes
There was something more I just know how to describe
Everything you came for
Caught you by surprise
So now you′re death-defying
Saw your name in lights
I remember
Momentary life
Takes forever
Ohh so camera shy
Almost out of time
