The Postal Service - Clark Gable Remastered

Текст песни

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 I 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 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
That your perfect verse is just a lie you tell yourself to help you get by?
