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 I 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.

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.
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 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 feeling
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.
