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
<Interlude>
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
you tell yourself
to help you get by
you tell yourself
to help you get by

White guts

White guts
