Make Believe Lyrics by Thornley

Tiny Pictures

2009

[Verse 1]
We're rolling down the highway
I'm rolling down my window
Then I stick my hand out, and fly with it as it flows
If I started thinking, instead of looking back
You wouldn't see me sinking, before they covered up the crack

This is what it feels like, coming down
We're all in the movie, can't turn it off or shut it down
This is what it feels like, if that's so
Then where is the director to tell us where the hell to go?

[Pre-Chorus]
I've got this film in my head
It's scripted all that I've said
Let's make it real before we're dead

[Chorus]
Because we're close enough, we're diamonds in the rough
Today's the day we finally say, you can't turn this movie off
And if we're told we might as well just blow this all to hell
It's not a film or a fantasy, we're not just make believe

[Verse 2]
So this is what it feels like, running through my lines
I'm never the pretender, I find it's just a waste of time
This is what it feels like, when the hero dies
On to the next one, funny how time flies

[Pre-Chorus]
I've got this film in my head
They've scripted all that I've said
Let's make it real before we're dead

[Chorus]
Because we're close enough, we're diamonds in the rough
Today's the day we finally say, you can't turn this movie off
And if we're told we might as well just blow this all to hell
It's not a film or a fantasy and we're not just make believe
It's not a film or a fantasy, we're not just make believe

[Bridge]
As long as I play me, and as long as you play you
God I love this scene, I've got to thank the cast and crew
Don't let the credits roll, don't let the credits roll!

[Chorus]
Because we're close enough, we're diamonds in the rough
Today's the day we finally say, you can't turn this movie off
And if we're told we might as well just blow this all to hell
It's not a film or a fantasy and we're not just make believe
It's not a film or a fantasy and we're not just make believe
It's not a film or a fantasy, we're not just make believe
