Like a sawed-off shot gun

In the morning light it comes to anyone

All the strings that follow you

My love's behind you colored by the snow

The shine is gone

Now I'm searching for it

Cause it's a mystery all the same

Not to get you back

With a broken camera

And all I say

I could be happier

It's a mystery night

And I thought we had fun

But in the morning light

Your cars already gone

Do the things I wanna do

Not the ones I'm supposed to

Why can't I get close to

The man I saw in me

When I was young

-chorus-

On holiday

With a broken camera

And all I say

Of all the branches up to break

With all my faith

Destiny and fate
