fiogf49gjkf0d Scene from the movie
It’s that scene from the movie where the girl is in the phone booth crying
And the boy gets off the plane and comes back to her.
It’s that part in your favorite film where the hero runs back
into the burning building and saves the baby, and comes out unhurt.
But movies aren’t real life are they?
No one is saved like that.
No, movies aren’t real life are they?
‘Cause then everyone would know how to act.
It’s that awkward situation, where you’re friends are all talking
And you’re not even listening ‘til they mention your name
And then they finally notice you’ve been alone and avoiding everybody
So they dress you up and take you out and make you feel whole again.
But movies aren’t real life are they?
Sometimes your friends make mistakes.
No, movies aren’t real life are they?
‘Cause then everyone would know, sometimes that’s just the breaks.
Changes move slower than sound.
Sometimes things aren’t so profound.
It’s more like molecules shift around slower
And then suddenly you’re five years older.
But movies aren’t real life are they?
Sometimes the bad guy gets away.
No, movies aren’t real life are they?
‘Cause then you would have known what I needed you to say.
It’s that sad circumstance where I’m the girl in the phone booth crying
And you don’t even know to come back to me.
