When they see them glimmering they buy 'em
Oh I see ya ya photo finish
Getting women like we hire 'em
Oh I see ya ya photo finish
When they see them glimmering they buy 'em
Oh I see ya ya photo finish
Yeah yeah, photo finish
You know we always finish first place
That's why we're rapping in the first place
First page
And we at the finish line
Yeah yeah photo finish signing on the dotted line
[Chorus]
You always hedging on a safe bet
Walking a tight rope with a safety net
Face it, it doesn't mean shit unless you take a whiff
Shush baby shut your mouth cause you're not part of this, this time
You always hedging on a safe bet
Walking a tight rope with a safety net
Face it, it doesn't mean shit unless you take a risk
Shush baby, shut your mouth cause you're not part of this, this time
Oh I see ya ya photo finish
When they see them glimmering they buy 'em
Oh I see ya ya photo finish
Getting women like we hire 'em
Oh I see ya ya photo finish
When they see them glimmering they buy 'em
Oh I see ya ya photo finish
Getting women like we hire 'em
Yeah yeah photo finish
Uh oh! no he didn't say that
I'm a wait till I get paid back
Plaid back
Like he did his first take
Photo finish running through the red tape
[Chorus: x2]
The lyrics to 3OH!3's song Photofinnish seems to be about living life on the edge and taking risks. The chorus, "oh I see ya ya photo finish, when they see them glimmering they buy 'em, getting women like we hire 'em," can be interpreted as living life in the fast lane, with a flashy lifestyle of parties, women, and instant gratification. The lines "you always hedging on a safe bet, walking a tight rope with a safety net" suggests that the singer is taking risks, not playing it safe, and going for the big rewards.
The repeated phrase "photo finish" implies that life is like a race, where every moment counts, and one mistake can cost everything. At the finish line, the singer signs on the dotted line, thereby securing his success, no matter what the consequences. The line "shush baby shut your mouth cause you're not part of this, this time" could suggest that the singer is talking to someone who doesn't belong to the world he's living in, and doesn't understand the fast-paced lifestyle that he is enjoying.

Plaid back
A play on words with 'laid back', indicating a confident and cool attitude
Like he did his first take
Showing confidence and success from the first attempt
Photo finish running through the red tape

And if I had something to say to you I'd whisper it softly,
Kiss you on your rosy lips and never let you off me.
Shiver on your roof and see your face lit by starlight,
Hold you through the night and watch that Colorado sunrise.
I've got five fingers on each hand for every mistake that I've made
Plus my tongue is tied to tonsils and I need to shit and shave
I'm a shade to pale for handsome and have habits I can't shake
And if you try to take that from me well I'll never be the same
Train wreck that I am
And I am what I am what I am
A train wreck, that I am
And I am what I am what I am
A train wreck
And as long as it's OK with you I think I'll stay right here.
I got no where to go cause where to go is up to you, dear.
Happy as a clam I see the glimmer in your eyes.
Hold you through the night and watch that Colorado sunrise.
No car and never cared because I got no place to go.
But in a room, (a single wall?) I couldn't pay a plant to grow
You can try and make this pretty, pick up all my dirty clothes.
And if you never really get me then I guess you'll never know the
Train wreck that I am
And I am what I am what I am
A train wreck, that I am
And I am what I am what I am
A train wreck
I've got five fingers on each hand for every mistake that I've made
Plus my tongue is tied to tonsils and I need to shit and shave
I'm a shade to pale for handsome and have habits I can't shake
And if you try to take that from me well I wouldn't be the same
Train wreck that I am
And I am what I am what I am
(Colorado sunrise)
A train wreck
That I am
And I am what I am what I am
(Colorado sunrise)
Train wreck.
That I am
(If I had something to say to you I'd whisper it softly)
And I am what I am what I am
(Kiss you on your rosy lips and never let you off me)
A train wreck
That I am
(Shiver on your roof see your face lit by starlight)
And I am what I am what I am
(Hold you through the night and watch that Colorado sunrise)
A train wreck.
