love this song

I was waiting for a cross-town train in the
london underground when it struck me....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...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...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!"..then called action
and I kissed you in a style 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
