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?
