Leading Actress
Transmitting a signal from in between power lines
Your voice sounds like an echo of a long drawn-out goodbye
Pacing in the parking lot, I cry beneath a bright New Jersey moon
You used to be a stranger standing way off to the side
Now you're standing front and center under the spotlight
And I should have known better than to let the plot revolve around you
Now I'm sleeping in the middle of the mattress
Thinking about changing up my address
And somehow you are still the leading actress
In the movie of my life
Peering out the window as I watch the world expand
And building up the courage to call you when I land
Flying over the Atlantic, I'm a thousand different shades of blue
Heavy anticipation and the silence on the drive
It's the longest trip we've taken down I-65
Hanging in background, just waiting on you to make the move
And I'm sleeping in the middle of the mattress
Thinking about changing up my address
And somehow you are still the leading actress
In the movie of my life
I've tried to imagine a life with someone new
They've copied all your lines, they've memorized your moves
But you're still in every scene, I'm clinging to
Leftover references of you
And someone sleeps on your side of the mattress
While you're driving back to someone else's address
But you're always gonna be the leading actress
In the movie of my life
The movie of my life
The movie of my life
Your voice sounds like an echo of a long drawn-out goodbye
Pacing in the parking lot, I cry beneath a bright New Jersey moon
You used to be a stranger standing way off to the side
Now you're standing front and center under the spotlight
And I should have known better than to let the plot revolve around you
Now I'm sleeping in the middle of the mattress
Thinking about changing up my address
And somehow you are still the leading actress
In the movie of my life
Peering out the window as I watch the world expand
And building up the courage to call you when I land
Flying over the Atlantic, I'm a thousand different shades of blue
Heavy anticipation and the silence on the drive
It's the longest trip we've taken down I-65
Hanging in background, just waiting on you to make the move
And I'm sleeping in the middle of the mattress
Thinking about changing up my address
And somehow you are still the leading actress
In the movie of my life
I've tried to imagine a life with someone new
They've copied all your lines, they've memorized your moves
But you're still in every scene, I'm clinging to
Leftover references of you
And someone sleeps on your side of the mattress
While you're driving back to someone else's address
But you're always gonna be the leading actress
In the movie of my life
The movie of my life
The movie of my life
