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 style 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?"
The Postal Service is amazing.
