Why don't you take me |
|
back to the beginning of this movie |
|
before the scenery changed what we could be |
|
now, we aren't the same as we were |
|
Before the problems |
|
if I knew any better, I could solve them |
|
now the ending is beginning to look grim |
|
why couldn't I take time to learn |
|
No, it's not real life |
|
but it's creeping in |
|
I hate to see you leave me |
|
over and over again |
|
so, reset the lights |
|
and i'll play along |
|
when they say action |
|
we'll leave out the words that don't belong |
|
anywhere in this movie song |
|
Let's write a sequel |
|
based on actual events, places, and people |
|
you and me, just for instance |
|
and we fall in love |
|
there's no giving up in the end |
|
and I can't take the heartbreak of knowing what's to come |
|
I'm tearing out all the pages where we come undone |
|
and all these character flaws become no flaws at all |
|
Quiet on the set |
|
then we hit our marks |
|
we've changed the ending to resemble how the movie starts |
|
Throw away your script |
|
you won't be needing it |
|
all these dreams could not exist |
|
if real love weren't better than this |
