lyrics
the film unreels before me, the celluloid of all these years
and I still can’t see you but I hear you telling me we’ll play it by ear
and this is so far out of tune that i'm not good enough to fake it
so i close my eyes and say goodnight to the moon feel sorry for the winter trees, so cold and naked.
but I, I crinkled my smile and hid my eyes from the sun
and I was impatient when you asked if you were the only one
we’re such good actors – do we feel, or just think we should?
and I swear that I’d come clean if I, if I thought I could.
and you gave it all, but it all slipped through the cracks
and i threw a kiss over my shoulder, but i forgot to look back
and i want to be witty and clever, or at the very least – kind.
but i’ve forgotten all the words that used to be so easy to find.
but i, i crinkled my smile and i hid my eyes from the sun
and i was impatient when you asked if you were the only one
we’re such good actors – do we feel, or just think we should?
and i swear that i’d come clean if i…if i thought i could.
and i’m aware that you’d be good for me
if only i would let you be
but mutiny comes in every shape and size
and by now my jumping ship should come as no great surprise
and i, i crinkled my smile and i hid my eyes from the sun
and i was impatient when you asked if you were the only one
we’re such good actors – do we feel, or just think we should?
and i swear that i’d come clean if i…if i thought i could.
and I still can’t see you but I hear you telling me we’ll play it by ear
and this is so far out of tune that i'm not good enough to fake it
so i close my eyes and say goodnight to the moon feel sorry for the winter trees, so cold and naked.
but I, I crinkled my smile and hid my eyes from the sun
and I was impatient when you asked if you were the only one
we’re such good actors – do we feel, or just think we should?
and I swear that I’d come clean if I, if I thought I could.
and you gave it all, but it all slipped through the cracks
and i threw a kiss over my shoulder, but i forgot to look back
and i want to be witty and clever, or at the very least – kind.
but i’ve forgotten all the words that used to be so easy to find.
but i, i crinkled my smile and i hid my eyes from the sun
and i was impatient when you asked if you were the only one
we’re such good actors – do we feel, or just think we should?
and i swear that i’d come clean if i…if i thought i could.
and i’m aware that you’d be good for me
if only i would let you be
but mutiny comes in every shape and size
and by now my jumping ship should come as no great surprise
and i, i crinkled my smile and i hid my eyes from the sun
