Lyrics
So you want to be in love like the movies?
But in the movies they're not in love at all
With a twinkle in their eyes
They're just sayin their lines
So we can't be in love like the movies
Now in the movies
They make it look so perfect
And in the background
They're always playing the right song
And in the ending
there's always a resolution
But real life is more
than just two hours long
So you want to be in love like the movies?
But in the movies they're not in love at all
With a twinkle in their eyes
They're just sayin their lines
So we can't be in love like the movies
Well you can freeze frame
any moment from a movie
Or run the whole damn thing
Backwards from reel to reel
But I don't see one
Single solitary light technician
Or one single camera
In this moonlit field
And with a twinkle in their eyes
They're just saying their lines
And so we can't be in love like the movies.
No, We can't be in love like movies
