And I want life in every word
And you agreed to
The marker snapped and I yelled
(I thought it classic)
I want so badly to believe that
I want so badly to believe that
But it was clear that day so we faked it
And a van and then I called you
That I've been waiting since birth to find a love
Publishers: DYING SONGS, WHERE I'M CALLING FROM MUSIC
So I changed my plans, I rented a camera
"I need you to pretend that we are in love again"
There is truth, that love is real
To help you get by?
I know you're wise beyond your years
That would look and sound like a movie
That Clark Gable would have admired
Using a friend as my stand-in
In the London underground when it struck me
To the extent that it's absurd
Songwriters: Ben Gibbard, Jimmy Tamborello
"Quiet on the set" and then called "Action"
I was waiting for a cross-town train
The script it called for rain
I greased the lens and framed the shot
But do you ever get the feel that
There is truth, that love is real
And I kissed you in a style
Your perfect verse is just a lie you tell yourself
To the extent that it's absurd
And I want life in every word
