Playing you back like a movie
Life will appear in the face on the screen
All that I want is emotion
Let me give in to the pain on the face like a clown
Writing you songs isn’t easy
Words should appear but they don’t when you’re near
Spending my time with the lonely
Feelings I get when you turn off the light to lie down
What I show you about me
I show you in my songs
As you tell me your bad dreams
I sing every one
Playing you back like a movie
Watching the scenes of the people you’ve been
Seeing the change in your motion
Every move is a step toward feeling the ground
Hiding my heart like a monster
Making my pact with the face on the screen
The movie will show you I love you
Follow the plot as I turn off my light to lie down
What I show you about me
I show you in my songs
As we act in our movie
I sing every one
