Movies

When we're forced to pretend
Cause we struggle to live like we do
I make believe we're with friends
And together we push right through this
Push right
And we go to the movies
And we go the mall
And we'll go see a movie
We see them all

And I think this tragedy
Was meant for the screen
So alert the academy
We're caught in between
Someone tell me my next line
Someone tell me I look fine
I'm ready for my closeup now
But I need my space somehow

Caught up in the change
Regrets in the wings they breakthrough
But the new scripts are strange
And the camera keeps clinging to you
Clinging

You're convinced this tragedy
Was meant for the screen
So forget the academy
At least you are seen
I cannot tell you your next line
I can't pretend you're looking fine
I'm ready to be close right now
But you need your space somehow

I saw your name in headlights
Right above my own
The letters didn't look right
It's the last touch we've known
So let's enjoy the show
Forgive us as we go
The charade only ends
When we pretend it's over so

And I think this tragedy
Was meant for the screen
So forget the academy
At least we'll be seen
I cannot tell you your next line
I can't pretend I'm doing fine
I'm ready to be close right now
I'm ready to be close right now
