the postal service - clark gable (live) lyrics

[verse 1]
i was waiting for a cross+town train in the london underground
when it struck me (when it struck me)
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 (and then i called you)
“oh, i need you to pretend that we are in love again”
and you agreed to

[chorus]
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

[verse 2]
i greased the lens and framed the shot
using a friend as my stand+in (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 then called “action!”)
and i kissed you in a style clark gable would have admired
i thought it classic
[chorus]
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?

[outro]
that you tell yourself to help you get by?
that you tell yourself to help you get by?
