The End Of The Movie (Adam Schlesinger Demo)

(album: Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (Season 3) - 2018)

So this is the end of the movie
Whoa, whoa, whoa
But real life isn't a movie
No, no, no

You want things to be wrapped up neatly
The way that stories do
You're looking for answers
But answers aren't looking for you

Because life is a gradual series of revelations
That occur over a period of time
It's not some carefully crafted story
It's a mess, and we're all gonna die

If you saw a movie that was like real life
You'd be like, "What the hell was that movie about?
It was really all over the place"
Life doesn't make narrative sense
Nuh-uh

We tell ourselves that we're in a movie
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Each one of us thinks we've got the starring role
Role, role, role

But the truth is, sometimes you're the lead
And sometimes you're an extra
Just walking by in the background
Like me, Josh Groban!

Because life is a gradual series of revelations
That occur over a period of time
Some things might happen that seem connected
But there's not always a reason or rhyme

People aren't characters. They're complicated
And their choices don't always make sense
That being said, it's really messed-up
That you banged your ex-boyfriend's dad

Oh, never bang your ex-boyfriend's dad
