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



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 that 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?
