I was waiting for a cross-town train

In the London underground

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��my plans

I�a camera and a van

And then I��you

"I need you to pretend that��������again"

And you��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�the shot

Using a friend

As my stand-in

The script, it called for rain

But it��clear that day

So we���it

The marker snapped

And I�, "Quiet on the set!"

And then called, "Action!"

I���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?
