Silver Screen

By Olivia DB

it’ll be alright it was black and white

i know it was a stage kiss

the first thing they tell you is don’t fall in love with your love interest but

i could be your happiness after act three

you know i only love the actors when their on the silver screen

if i told you, would the lights cue

would the orchestra play for me?

if i love you, i could love you on

the silver screen

yeah kicked me out of hollywood

guess i wasn’t good enough

rewatching old movies

guess it’s just my luck you never had a real life outside of the film reel

you never had a real love outside of the script

saw your empty eyes in a screen of silver steel and

i always fall for the actors but i could be your happiness after act three

you know i only love the actors when their on the silver screen

if i told you, would the lights cue

would the orchestra play for me?

if i love you i could love you on

the silver screen

yeah during take 5 you’re losing your mind

you hide behind the scenery with cheddar chips

always so restless don’t know what to do when your not in 2D

speaking straight lines with a tremble in your voice

did you ever learn to cry by choice?

locking your doors, not going outsidethe

best actors don't have a life

you sing in shows you wake up alone

you win awards with your heart of stone

but i could be your happiness after act 3

you know i only love the actors

when their standing by the sea

if i told youwith no film crew

could you escape your misery?

if i loved you i’d only love you

on the silver screen

and off the silver screen

yeah
