As Waters

Lyrics

like a 70's movie, a classic character study
at the end of the rainbow
everything got so muddy
you were cool as a starlet
i was brave like a lion
all the carpets were scarlet
and I didn't mind dyin'
but as we rode into the sunset the traffic slowed us down to a crawl
and there's no use pretending
there'll be a Hollywood ending at all

the reels are unspooling
their implacable karma
who the hell are we fooling
let's dispense with the drama
I'm holding on to the bumper
it all starts to unravel
from this point on the highway
there can be nothing but gravel
but there's no point in letting go so i might as well just keep holding on
and there's no use pretending
there'll be a Hollywood ending

i know you got lonely
well, i did too
i guess we both did what we thought we had to do

so let bygones be bygones
and take a bow for the curtain
i guess this is over
but it still feels uncertain
of all the outcomes i imagined, i couldn't see it end in a draw
and there's no use pretending
there'll be a Hollywood ending at all
