Lyrics

I was waiting for a cross-town train in the London Underground
When it struck me (When it struck me)
That I've been waiting since birth to find a love
That would look and sound like a movie
So I changed my plans, I rented a camera and a van
And then I called you (And then I called you)
"I need you to pretend that we are in love again"
And you agreed to
I want so badly to believe
That "There is truth, that love is real"
And I want life in every word
To the extent that it's absurd
I greased the lens and framed the shot
Using a friend as my stand-in (As my stand-in)
The script, it called for rain, but it was clear that day
So we faked it
The marker snapped and I yelled, "Quiet on the set!"
And then called, "Action!" (And then called, "Action!")
And I kissed you in a style Clark Gable would have admired
I thought it classic
I want so badly to believe
That "There is truth, that love is real"
And I want life in every word
To the extent that it's absurd
I know you're wise beyond your years
But do you ever get the fear
That your perfect verse is just a lie
You tell yourself to help you get by?
That you tell yourself to help you get by?
That you tell yourself to help you get by?
