Kevin Brown - Writing Movies Lyrics

(action...)

Let's set the scene there's a party right down the street
And somebody I think I want to meet
Is gonna be there, I overheard 'em say

So I'm getting ready, sure to be a show
But I don't bother finding out where I'm to go
You won't ever see me walking down that way

I'll spend the night right here in my room
Pen and paper take away my blues

Cause I may never know how it goes in a crowded room
Trying to find a quiet corner to get you alone
For a moment all I want is to get to know you dear

But I can write a scene for a movie you'll never see
Where I'm the one all the cool kids want to be
And I say all the things you want to hear

A tall young man walks in
Full of confidence he grins,
Says, how's it going, yours is one name that I'm missing

The woman's taken back
She slips a smile through her laugh
And for a moment I'm believing in my own fiction

Nothing is the way you want it to be
But everybody's happy in the movies

Cause I may never know what it's like to talk to you
And you'll never know what you put me through
I'll never learn to face my fears

But I can write a scene for a movie you'll never see
Where you fall so in love with me
And tell me all the things, I want to hear

We've seen the film at least a hundred times
We've all but memorized each of the lines
But that doesn't mean the next one isn't true
I long to hear those lines I'm living through

Cause I may never know how it goes in a crowded room
Trying to find a quiet corner to get you alone
For a moment all I want is to get to know you
