It Used To Be A Movie

Alex Wong

Lyrics

It used to be a movie now it's a script on a page 
I could describe every color could replay every scene frame by frame 
The way that the orchestra swelled all around every word that we said 
Now all I see are black and white typewritten lines in my head. 

It used to be a movie now we’re just frozen in place 
Golden Toyko morning as the Japanese light licked your face 
I barely remember the words that exploded outside of the frame 
Now only the shot of your smile and your faraway eyes remains 

Did it ever really happen  
Did it every really happen 
Did it ever really happen at all 
I’m sure I would recall 

Sometimes I catch myself remembering part of a dream 
And I can’t tell the difference except that you're still there with me 
The scientists say it all looks the same inside of our head 
Maybe someday i’ll only remember this version instead 

When I think of your picture 
That we hung by the stairs 
I can still smell the ocean 
and the breeze in yr hair 
I can still taste your laughter 
and the salt in the air 
And I swear I remember 
But I wasn’t there
