Lyrics

"Screen Lovers"
Music/Lyrics by JK Wilson

Verse
It's late, long night, worked till close at the bar
Just got home, dead tired, countin my change from the tip jar

Can't sleep, cracked a beer, old movie playin on TV
Romantic scene, they kiss
Thinkin bout how we used to be

Chorus
What I want, is to be like them
What I want is what those stars had back then
The perfect world screen lovers live in
What I want is to be like them

Verse
Read over and over the note you sent
Liquid courage clearly fuelin the words you said

That we can't get back to what we were back when
Ended with you're leavin
As I watch them on TV kiss again

Chorus
What I want, is to be like them
What I want is what those stars had back then
The perfect world screen lovers live in
What I want is to be like them

Bridge
Life in those old movies, all looks good in black and white
Hollywood sells hope, but covers up the lies
I know that's not how love ever works in real life
Still want to find a leading man, when I cast for my new guy

Chorus
What I want, is to be like them
What I want is what those stars had back then
The perfect world screen lovers live in
What I want is to be like them
What I want is to be like them
What I want, what I want, is to be like them
