If This Were A Movie

(album: Til They Bang On The Door - 2016)

If this were a movie
I'd know what to say
Instead of staring in silence as he slips away
Wit and perfection would fall from my lips
He'd move in my direction like it says in the script
And as I lean in to deliver my last line the screen fades to black

Why can't this be the time
The end won't make me cry
I'd change our final scene
If this were a movie

No running mascara, my hands wouldn't shake
I wouldn't have said that, my heart wouldn't break
He'd meet me in Paris, we'd fly to Madrid
The arc of the story would end with a kiss
When the lights come up I'm alone
And no one's here to throw me a line

Why can't this be the time
The end won't make me cry
I'd change our final scene
If this were a movie

The right girl gets the guy
Nobody says goodbye
There'd be parts two and three
If this were a movie

The right girl gets the guy
Nobody says goodbye
There'd be parts two and three
If this were a movie
