Silent Movie
We're in a picture black and whiteWho took the light out of my lifeWhen you gave in?We're playing out of different rolesWe should be wanting the same goalsListening, forgiving
Why can't we communicateWhen the main feature is just beginning?
[Refrain:]In the silent movie, there's no talkingYou're just an actorSo break into my storyTake it overPaint me with colour
Everybody's speaking, but you don't know what they're sayingYou're just guessing meaningsInterpreting emotion through a window that is brokenWe're just testing feelings
Why can't we communicateWhen the main feature is just beginning?
[Refrain:]In the silent movie, there's no talkingYou're just an actorSo break into my storyTake it overPaint me with colour
Step into the movie, you can be my leading manBreak into the silence, so your heart can understandStep into the movie, we could walk along the sandLet me stand beside you, put your life into my hand
Don't you know you love me like you never love yourself?Don't you know you love me like you never love yourself?Don't you know you love me like you never love yourself?Don't you know you love me like you never love yourself?
[Refrain:]In the silent movie, there's no talkingYou're just an actorSo break into my storyTake it overPaint me with colour
