Song lyrics downloaded from: https://www.albumsongandlyrics.com ------------------------------------------ The Postal Service - Clark Gable ------------------------------------------ I was waiting for a cross-town train on the london underground when it struck me, (when it struck me) That ive 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) 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 its absurd. 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) I kissed you in a style 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 its absurd. I know youre wise beyond your years but do you ever get the fears that your perfect verse is just a lie you tell yourself to help you get by?
