Leading Actress

Transmitting a signal from in-between power lines

Your voice sounds like an echo of a long drawn out goodbye

Pacing in the parking lot

I cry beneath a bright New Jersey moon

You used to be a stranger standing way off to the side

Now you're standing front and center under the spotlight

And I should have known better than to let the plot revolve around you

Now I'm sleeping in the middle of the mattress

Thinking about changing up my address

And somehow you are still the leading actress

In the movie of my life

Peering out the window as I watch the world expand

And building up the courage to call you when I land

Flying over the Atlantic

I'm a thousand different shades of blue

Heavy anticipation and the silence on the drive

It's the longest trip we've taken down I-65

Hanging in background, just waiting on you to make the move

And I'm sleeping in the middle of the mattress

Thinking about changing up my address

And somehow you are still the leading actress

In the movie of my life

I've tried to imagine a life with someone new

They've copied all your lines, they've memorized your moves

But you're still in every scene

I'm clinging to leftover references of you

And someone sleeps on your side of the mattress

While you're driving back to someone else's address

But you're always gonna be the leading actress

In the movie of my life

In the movie of my life

In the movie of my life
