Movies About Animals - Gosling Lyrics

There's an image branded in my mind
Standing in a kitchen, her and I
Talking about God knows what
It's some coffee-stained nostalgic sin
In a dream of how things could have been
And when I think of love, I think of that
Hindsight's twenty drinks and a few years
Recalled tonight like thunder
All those stock footage moments might have saved me
I guess I'll always wonder

I was casing for a lie under the never ending summer skies
Back in the memories angels fear to tread
As if some divine script exists
Rising action just to fall to the abyss
Like Gosling on the screen, I played my part to near perfection
No one told me these wild daydreams were just a mere projection
Some quixotic of fiction

I didn't call that night
I was trying to fight off whatever was taking hold
Maybe everyone was right about what they've been told
But I stopped giving
I stopped giving away the cheapest pieces of me
I stopped giving, I stopped giving away
I stopped giving, I stopped giving
I stopped giving away the cheapest pieces of me
