I was waiting for a cross-town train in the london underground

When it struck me that I've been waiting since birth to find

A love that would look and sound like a movie so I changed

My plans and rented a camera and a van and then I called you

"I need you to pretend that we are in love again" and you agreed to

I want so badly to believe that "there is truth, that love is real"

And I want life in every word to the extent that it's absurd

I greased the lens and framed the shot using a friend as my stand-in

The script it called for rain but it was clear that day so we faked it

The marker snapped and I yelled "quiet on the set"

And then called "action!"

And I kissed you in a style that clark gable would have admired

(I thought it classic)

I want so badly to believe that "there is truth, that love is real"

And I want life in every word to the extent that it's absurd

I know you're wise beyond your years, but do you ever get the fear
