  I was waiting for a cross-town train in the london underground 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 and rented a camera and a van and then I called you. "I need you to pretend that we are in love again" and you agreed to. I greased the lens and framed the shot using a friend 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 I kissed you in a style that 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? Your perfect verse is just a lie you tell yourself to help you get by.
