Clark Gable Lyrics

I was waiting for a cross-town train in the London Underground when it struck me that I'd 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 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 and love is real and I want life in every word to the extent that it's absurd I grease the lens and frame the shot using a friend as my stand-in The script had 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!" 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 and 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 that you tell yourself to help you get by that you tell yourself to help you get by...
