Lyrics
SHINE! SHINE! SHINE!
SHINE! SHINE! SHINE!
SHINE — I chose the shine
SHINE — left you behind
There came a time when I had a choice
high-gloss polished, chrome shining bright
a colour calling out to me
I couldn’t turn from its light
The other one was quieter
built to run, steady and true
I took the shine, I took the show
and every mile lost you
SHINE — I chose the shine
SHINE — left you behind
SHINE — crossed every line
SHINE — and lost you in time
They stood there side by side that day
one turned heads, one held its ground
I heard the crowd, I felt the pull
I followed what was loud
I told myself it wouldn’t cost
I swore I knew what I would do
but every road that glittered bright
just pulled me far from you
SHINE — I chose the shine
SHINE — left you behind
SHINE — crossed every line
SHINE — and lost you in time
The nights grew long, the colour thinned
the chrome went dull in morning rain
what burned like fire from far away
couldn’t carry through the strain
The steady one would have held me close
would have brought me safely through
but I was chasing painted light
on roads that led from you
So here I stand with what I chose
with all its shine and all its weight
a thing can glitter, still be wrong
and teach you truth a little late
If you could hear me where you are
I’d say it plain, I’d say it slow
I should have taken what would last
I should have let the bright thing go
SHINE
SHINE
SHINE — I chose the shine
SHINE — left you behind
SHINE — crossed every line
SHINE — and lost you in time
SHINE — I chose the shine
SHINE — left you behind
SHINE — crossed every line
SHINE — and lost you in time
SHINE — I chose the shine
SHINE — I chose the shine
SHINE — I chose the shine
SHINE — I chose the shine
SHINE! SHINE! SHINE!
SHINE — I chose the shine
SHINE — left you behind
There came a time when I had a choice
high-gloss polished, chrome shining bright
a colour calling out to me
I couldn’t turn from its light
The other one was quieter
built to run, steady and true
I took the shine, I took the show
and every mile lost you
SHINE — I chose the shine
SHINE — left you behind
SHINE — crossed every line
SHINE — and lost you in time
They stood there side by side that day
one turned heads, one held its ground
I heard the crowd, I felt the pull
I followed what was loud
I told myself it wouldn’t cost
I swore I knew what I would do
but every road that glittered bright
just pulled me far from you
SHINE — I chose the shine
SHINE — left you behind
SHINE — crossed every line
SHINE — and lost you in time
The nights grew long, the colour thinned
the chrome went dull in morning rain
what burned like fire from far away

The steady one would have held me close

SHINE — crossed every line
SHINE — and lost you in time
SHINE — I chose the shine
SHINE — I chose the shine
SHINE — I chose the shine
SHINE — I chose the shine
