lyrics

What was I looking for?
When I met you at the video store
You were renting The French Connection and standing in line
You told me who would play me
If they made my life a movie
I didn’t agree but I was glad to be on your mind
You knew things I never knew
Like the mysteries of the soul
Your sister’s secrets you never told
And all the chords to “Time after Time”

These endless days still slip away
Begin again and then begin again
These endless days still slip away
Begin again and then begin again

Your stories kept me warm
While I was counting drops in a rainstorm
They crashed like the cymbals in your favorite song
We walked through Gibson Park
It was still warm but getting dark
We promised we’d watch movies all night long
You said things I would never say
Like “I love you but not enough,
I don’t want you to be tough”
And “I love the feeling when I know I might be wrong

Chorus

Comedy is tragedy
Tragedy is comedy
Yeah, we cried at everything
Yeah, we cried at everything
Yeah, we cried at everything

What was I looking for
When I met you at the video store?
Just something to help me laugh away my fears
You told me who would play me
If they made my life a movie
I said “that actor has been dead for years”

Chorus
