Only in the Movies Lyrics

She didn't sleep in her room
For fear she'd wake up dead
She didn't let her feet
Hang over the side of the bed
She closed her eyes tight
So she wouldn't see the things in the dark
And many times she wondered
If she'd have a heart attack
A heart attack
The girl in black
With a hundred stars next to her name
And a perfect score
She's a big girl
No she's not
Not
Not
Not

Would you tell me a story
To put my mind at ease
Would you leave on my night light
Or something please
Remind me that things only happen
In the movies

I don't suppose you'd realize
How it feels
I don't suppose you'd realize
How it feels
I don't suppose you'd realize
I don't suppose you'd realize

She didn't sleep in her room
For fear she'd wake up dead
She didn't let her feet
Hang over the side of the bed
She closed her eyes tight
So she wouldn't see the things in the dark
And many times she wondered
If she'd have a heart attack

Cover art for Only in the Movies lyrics by Plumtree

Is Carla afraid of the dark? it's mentioned in Sodium Chloride as well. Great song, nevertheless

@Jestoon425 I was wondering that too.

"I don't suppose you realize how it feels"

That lyric has some interesting undertones in the context of an 18 year old girl being afraid of the dark.
