They wanted to make a movie inside your heart
It was to be a story about love and pain
But it also had to be about the truth
Would you ever watch the past again?

There is a man standing on the stage
He wants to tell you things you can’t believe
He wants to whisper life back into your eyes
It is your chance to play the part that he conceived

The raw nerves of your life loom
But no amount of flesh can play pretend
And as the camera moved closer
You asked them to remove the lens

Faraway lands whisper in your ears
For you always consider your dreams
There is no weight of distance or time
If imagination can be what it seems

Yet what you wish to conceal
Are not so much your dreams
But instead your doubts and fears
Who do not live for movie screens

Nothing can prepare you for the real thing
You will never know if it is right until it is over
You watch him speak as he tears up the script
He has decided only the heart can be your lover
