Lyrics
I was waiting for a cross-town train in the London underground When it struck me (When it struck me) 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) "Oh, 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?
