We were walking in a dream
Under a moonlit sky
You and I
But somehow it failed to move me
I guess it wasn't quite
Like in the movies

What you seek isn't real
Unlike the sorrow that you feel
Knowing no one could
Ever truly understand you

And eventually you got bored
So you went to the movies
Where you found
What you were looking for
Albeit temporarily

And the hero saves the day
Let all your troubles melt away
Cos the hero saved the day

You were living in a dream
Under moonlight love
Lasts for eternity
But for you it's out of reach
I guess life just
Isn't like the movies

What you seek could never be
Unlike the sorrow that you see
Knowing you will never
Know each other truly

But eventually you got bored
So you went back to the movies
Where you fell in love vicariously
And as he rescued
Them he rescued me

And the hero saves the day
Let all your troubles melt away
Cos the hero saved the day
