Songtext zu 'Love You Like The Movies' von Anthem Lights

Friday night, date night
I say: pick out what you like
I don't care as long as you're here
Surprise, surprise. Ain't that nice
Same old chick flick, eighteenth time
You know the one with that guy
Half way through, look at you
Smiling like you always do

And I can't help but just stare
'Cause suddenly, it hits me
As I watch you make believe
I want to make this your reality
And if you'll be my leading lady
Even though I may look crazy

I'll grab your hand, ask you to dance
In the middle of the street
Learn to sign, cheesy lines
Like: baby, you complete me
And in case you forget
Where we've been and what we did
I'll write it all down, read it out loud
Again and again
I promise if you let me
I'll love you like the movies

Now I've never been one of them
Guys who could be leading men
Just never seemed all that real
(Well you're like 5-6 — so was tom cruise — true)
But here right now
With you somehow
The kind of love they write about
Is the kind of love that I'm starting to feel

So I grab your hand, ask you to dance
In the middle of the street
Learn to sign, cheesy lines
Like: baby, you complete me.
And in case you forget
Where we've been and what we did
I'll write it all down, read it out loud
Again and again
I promise if you let me (whatcha gonna do?)
I'll love you like the movies

I'll never let go, Jack, I'll never let go
If you're a bird, I'm a bird
You had me at hello
Like Noah loved Allie
Like Harry loved Sally
Like Richard loved Julia (twice!)
Like Tom loved Meg
And the way he loved that volleyball (Wilson!)
The way Demi Moore loved that ghost (weird)
The way Jack loved Rose (what?)

I'll never let it go, never let it go
(Was he talking about a ghost?)
Never let it go!
I'll never let go!
(Dude, you alright? — I think so
Uh, if you'll be my leading lady
(It just seemed like it hurt)
Even though I may look crazy
(It's very high — it did a little)
(Key change? — nah, I don't want to)
(I feel like we should do a key chan- — okay)

I grab your hand, ask you to dance
In the middle of the street
Learn to sign, cheesy lines
Like: baby, you complete me
And in case you forget
Where we've been and what we did
I'll write it all down, read it out loud
Again and again

Close your eyes, arms out wide
I'm the king of the world
Carpet ride, starry nights
There's no way I don't kiss the girl
And in case you forget
Where we've been and what we did
I'll write it all down, read it out loud
Again and again
I promise if you let me
(Here's looking at you kid)
(Frankly my dear)
I'll love you like the movies
