Selfish Lyrics
Bright lights and butterflies
I take my place tonight
Bright lights and butterflies
We drink to my demise
I've got this selfish grace
A lavish taste for a brightly lit place
Infamous and famous
They are one and the same
So we drink tonight to my impending fame
You might deny it, but you're tied to your desires
And you're selfish
Yeah, you're selfish just like everyone else
So drink up
I found the perfect disguise
Impossible charisma
Charisma
The bright lights are shining in your eyes
Rock 'n' roll, honey
And impossible charisma
I am taken by the nighttime
I'm taken by the moonshine, moonshine
I am taken by the nighttime
I'm taken by the bright lights, bright lights
I take my place tonight
Bright lights and butterflies
We drink to my demise
I've got this selfish grace
A lavish taste for a brightly lit place
Infamous and famous
They are one and the same
So we drink tonight to my impending fame
And you're selfish
Yeah, you're selfish just like everyone else
So drink up
Impossible charisma
Charisma
The bright lights are shining in your eyes
Rock 'n' roll, honey
And impossible charisma
I'm taken by the moonshine, moonshine
I am taken by the nighttime
I'm taken by the bright lights, bright lights

Let me be the first to say that this song is my favorite off the new album thus far. I'm having troubles connecting the different verses, but..
some of the verses seem to be about how rock stars all seem to have so much charisma, but are really it's just a facade to hide deeper desires, which may or may not have something to do with the chorus.(?)
i think this is my favorite song off their new album
I kind of agree with mesmith5, but i think its more about how, HE thinks that HE is like sooo good, and the girl will fall to his knees, cuz hes just that good, when he's doing the same to her.
