    Lyrics
  • Verse1
    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 changed
    My plans and rented a camera and a van and then I /called you
    "I need you to pretend that we are in love again" and you /agreed to
  •  
    chorus
    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
    verse2
    I greased the lens and framed the shot using a friend 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 I kissed you in a style that clark gable would have admired
    (I thought it classic)
     
  • Chorus (play the chorus part above twice for this)
    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?
    Semi instrumental part (snare drum intro)
  • That your perfect verse is just a lie you tell yourself to help you get by? (2x)
  • PLAY TOO ..
