Clark Gable lyrics

I was waiting for a cross-town train

in the London underground when it struck me

That I've 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, that love is real"

And I want life in every word to the extent that it's absurd

I greased the lens and framed the shot

using a friend as my stand-in

The script it 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!"

And I kissed you in a style

that Clark Gable would have admired

(I thought it classic)

I want so badly to believe that

"there is truth, that 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

you tell yourself to help you get by?
