Local Natives - Camera Shy Lyrics

Local Natives Lyrics

"Camera Shy"

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
Oh, 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
Oh, so camera-shy
Almost out of time

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

Saw your name in lights
I remember
Momentary life
Takes forever
Oh, so camera-shy
Almost out of time
