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