Such Good Actors Lyrics
the film unreels before me,
the celluloid of all these years
and I still can’t see you
but I hear you telling me
we'll play it by ear
and this is so far out of tune
that i'm not good enough to fake it
so i close my eyes
and say goodnight to the moon
feel sorry for the winter trees,
so cold and naked.
but I, I crinkled my smile
and hid my eyes from the sun
and I was impatient when you asked
if you were the only one
we're such good actors
- do we feel, or just think we should?
and I swear that I'd come clean if I,
if I thought I could.
and you gave it all,
but it all slipped through the cracks
and i threw a kiss over my shoulder,
but i forgot to look back
and i want to be witty and clever,
or at the very least - kind.
but i've forgotten all the words that used to be
so easy to find.
chorus
and i'm aware that you'd be good for me
if only i would let you be
but mutiny comes in every shape and size
and by now my jumping ship should come
as no great surprise
the celluloid of all these years
and I still can’t see you
but I hear you telling me
we'll play it by ear
and this is so far out of tune
that i'm not good enough to fake it
so i close my eyes
and say goodnight to the moon
feel sorry for the winter trees,
so cold and naked.
and hid my eyes from the sun
and I was impatient when you asked
if you were the only one
we're such good actors
- do we feel, or just think we should?
and I swear that I'd come clean if I,
if I thought I could.
but it all slipped through the cracks
and i threw a kiss over my shoulder,
but i forgot to look back
and i want to be witty and clever,
or at the very least - kind.
but i've forgotten all the words that used to be
so easy to find.
if only i would let you be
but mutiny comes in every shape and size
and by now my jumping ship should come
as no great surprise
