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 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
That your perfect verse is just a lie you tell yourself to help you get by?
Tear me down, stimulate my mind
Wake me up from this motionless sleep
The passion has died
But the pain still remains
To push it’s way through these veins
Kicked down to the lowest point
I feel the dirt beneath my teeth
A pile of blood, sweat, tears and grief
I’ve seen all I can see
You’re eyes they beg me not too leave
Not quite a standstill But we’re moving slowly
There is no love No shame
To reap your nameThese idle hands will keep me still
I feel the dirt beneath my teeth
A pile of blood, sweat, tears and grief
I’ve seen all I can see
You’re eyes they beg me not too leave
Not quite a standstill But we’re moving slowly
Towards the endSink into meLearn to love what we’ve lost
Sink into me
After all is said and done
These scars were never meant to hea
lThere’s no hope for us
We’ve all seen the coldest suns
The ending sceneI pace circles around this hole
Your eyes they beg me not to leave
We’re not quiet at a standstill
We’re not quiet anything
We’re moving slowly towards the end
Sink into me
Learn to love
Learn to love what we’ve lost
Sink into me
