Frames

She’s dancing with the sun behind her
She’s smiling with the hair in her eyes
She’s walking with the ocean calling
And in this moment we are free of the lies

I’m talking but my lips are muted
I’m running with the film on pause
She’s leaving now we’re in slow motion
And now she’s breaking and I know I’m the cause

We’ll check the colours and the separation
We are bleeding together again

You’re in the moment, baby
Running through the frames in a flash of light
You’re just day-dreaming, baby
Watching the screen until you run out of sight

We’re dyin’ but the show’s a repeat
We’re killin’ from the living room
We’re cryin’ in between commercials
It looks so true when the cameras zoom

Love’s the answer what’s the question?
I get the feelin’ you’ll be leavin’ soon
Is this the truth or desperation
That keeps us lit in the growin’ gloom

The show is over now, it’s the end of the tape
The battery’s almost goneChorus
