Clark Gable.

I was waiting on 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 and 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!".

I kissed you in a style Clark Gable would've admired, I thought it classic.

I want so badly to believe that there is truth and 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 feeling,

that your perfect verse is just a lie you tell yourself to help you get by?
