We took a Polaroid You signed your name up on it I put it in my wallet All of a sudden I never was looking, hmm I'll be looking for the rest of my life Hoping I'd see your face again It captured the look in your eyes It's only a matter of time

'Cause I don't even know your name And it'll kill me everyday And I don't even know your name All I remember is that smile on your face I'm running, I'm searching And I don't know where to start I'm dying my love you punched a hole right through my heart

You're five years dead Uptown downtown Haven't seen your face around Paper said you shot a man Trigger happy punk down in Chinatown Sexy Sue from Hong Kong Asked around right or wrong Outta town change your name Or ya get five years with a ball and chain

See the bright lights shine in your face I'm counting on you to take it all away (the Wonderman) I saw the chosen one they're calling your name Are you you Are you you, the Wonderman I traded friends for fans, cement for sand Come on come on the stars

We took a Polaroid You signed your name up on it I put it in my wallet All of a sudden I never was looking, hmm Hoping I'd see your face again Captured the look in your eyes It's only a matter of time Before it starts fading

It won't be long, we'll meet again Numb, we're broken, here I stand alone Wondering what were the last words I said to you The face of love You've never left me The rising sun Will always speak your name Your memory is never passing

Watched it pour as I touched your face Well, it burned while I cried 'Cause I heard it screaming out your name I set fire to the rain Let it burn That I never knew, never knew All the things you'd say They were never true, never true
