lucho muñoz - the movies lyrics

thought i’d find you around the corner
reading books at west coffee shop, jogging around the block
in the burning avenues of a rat race
singing at the antique comedy hall, i would seat in the front seat

i thought i’d find you
at the same spot where i always go, one day you’d be there
waiting for me
and my favorite love song would play, wouldn’t feel like a calamity

but that sh+t only happens in the movies
it only happens in my mind, late at night
it’s too far fetched, i was naive
a callow young boy in a film scene
it only happens in the movies
it only happens when the crowd claps at the end
the tingling, under my tongue
you never felt cause you were just a friend

nora ephron never wrote our script
it wasn’t romance, it was fantasy
to watch you come and watch you leave
i memorized the trail to where we’d be
if it hadn’t been for the stainless sabotage
i played on me
it only happens in the movies
it only happens on a well+staged cruel mirage
it’s too refined, a selfish deed
that only happens to the golden breed
it only happens in a film scene
it only happens when the hero saves the day
it’s too gracious, i’m ungracious
way too stubborn to belong to the world they save

you were artless, i painted your layers
i was van gogh sketching how i’d be
your front+page subject
you’re just a player

unpretentious
it’s so romantic to get drunk
on valentine’s day

i thought you’d surface
when i proved to people i was someone worth to cling to

(it only happens in the movies
when a small screen boy’s just
trying to be big)

it only happens in the movies
it only happens in delusions and reveries
i was afraid to say your name
cause i never guessed what it could come to mean
