Not Like The Movies

I'm your average dreamer

I'm a true escapist

Always expecting a happy ending

Maybe I've been watching too many movies

Maybe I should grow up and stop pretending

When I saw your face though

Everything was slow-mo

And I started wondering why

Why can't it be

Just a pathway full of roses

Leading to a sunset view

Where the one you've always dreamed of waits
Why can't it be

It was like a movie scene

The way I fell for you

Only you didn't fall

Now it's not like the movies at all

Should've kept my heart shut

Should've been more patient

Should've kept an eye on my addiction

What was I expecting

Did I have a vision of a scene that only

lives in fiction

Now I know that you are

Not gonna be my costar

And I start to wonder why

Why can't it be

Just a pathway full of roses

Leading to a sunset view

Where the one you've always dreamed of waits

Why can't it be

It was like a movie scene

The way I fell for you

Only you didn't fall

Now it's not like the movies at all..
