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 and 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 stye 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?
