You want me back in slow-mo You want a field in sea blue You want me in a dress though You want a shot in lomo My life isn't a movie Even if it seems groovy There's a place you want to be And that's no longer with me You want a romance letter Written on old time paper You wish that you could love her But you want the forbidden other My life isn't a movie Even if it seems groovy There's a place you want to be And that's no longer with me You tell me you want me to stay But you want photo every holiday To send away in a cruel card To show them we are who we aren't And if you want lights in your life That's fine just let me play lead in mine You want my folded number Some relic used to feel in love You should feel every wonder Your ideas are six feet under My life isn't a movie Even if it seems groovy There's a place you want to be And that's no longer with me You tell me you want me to stay But you're in a mess and somehow I'm in the way Some hopeful look, some quick relief I'm in a book between your teeth And if you want lights in your life That's fine just let me play lead in mine I'm not some light in your life You're not a bone in mine But there's no wasted time I hope you're learning You're learning You tell me you want me to stay We're all gonna get over it someday This is always the hardest part So if you want lights in your life That's fine just let me play lead in mine
