Lyrics


Mindfilming

Sharpens her cheekbones and darkens her eyes
She straightens her hair to radio jingles
And can’t quite decide what to wear

Days in rehearsal perfecting his lines
His collar feels tight, some last minute rewrites
With mp3 soundtrack in mind

Filmed on location in his head

As they ride into the distance
With their silhouettes against the sun
Are they ever going to fall in love?

Hailing a taxi in slow motion rain
The chemistry’s right, past flickering streetlights
Expecting a twist at the end

Filmed on location in his head

As they ride into the distance
With their silhouettes against the sun
Are they ever going to fall, ever going to fall in love?

Ignore my critics so their poisoned words can’t hurt me, hurt me
Ignore the phantoms of old screen romances hurting me, hurting me
All I know is I’ve watched this film a thousand times before
And this time I’m going to change the ending

As they ride into the distance
With their silhouettes against the sun
Are they ever going to fall, ever going to fall in love?

As they ride into the distance
And the pictures fades, the credits run
Are they ever going to fall, ever going to fall in love?
