I'm a reckless mistake
I'm a cold night's intake
I'm a one night too long
I'm a "come on too strong"
All my life, I've been living in the fast lane
Can't slow down, I'm a rollin' freight train
One more time, gotta start all over
Can't slow down, I'm a lone red rover
I'm a hold my cards close
I'm a wreck what I love most
I'm a first class let down
I'm a "shut up, sit down"
I am a head case, I am the color of boom
That's never arriving and you are the pay raise
Always a touch out of view
And I am the color of boom
All my life, I've been living in the fast lane
Can't slow down, I'm a rollin' freight train
One more time, gotta start all over
Can't slow down, I'm a lone red rover
Woah, how did it come to this?
Oh, love is a polaroid
Oh, better in picture
But never can fill the void
I'm a midnight talker
Oh, I'm an alley walker
I'm a day late two face
Oh, I'm a burn out quick pace
I am a head case, I am the color of boom
That's never arriving and you are the opera
Always on time and in tune
And I am the color of boom
All my life, I've been living in the fast lane
Can't slow down, I'm a rollin' freight train
One more time, gotta start all over
Can't slow down, I'm a lone red rover
Woah, how did it come to this?
Oh, love is a polaroid
Oh, better in picture (oh-ooh)
But never can fill the void
Oh-oh-ooh-oh-oh, oh-oh-ooh
Oh, I'm gonna get ready
For the rain to pour heavy
Let it fall, fall
Let it fall upon my head
All my life, I've been living in the fast lane
Can't slow down, I'm a rollin' freight train
One more time, gotta start all over
Can't slow down, I'm a lone red rover
Woah, how did it come to this?
Oh, love is a polaroid
Oh, better in picture (oh-ooh)
But never can fill the void
Oh-oh-ooh, love is a polaroid
Oh-oh-ooh, love is a polaroid
Oh-oh-ooh, love is a polaroid
Oh-oh-ooh, love is a polaroid
