Lyrics
We’re laughing in the living room, popcorn on the floor Talking through the dialogue, guessing what’s the score Cheap red wine and flickering light We bet on who’ll survive the night There’s thunder on the windowpane but we don’t hear a thing We’re busy with our tiny wars and every selfish win The credits roll, we kill the screen But missed the twist behind the scene ’Cause every day we write another frame But we never see who’s signing off our names That's when it hits me Right before it all turns ugly Right before it all goes dark There's something beautiful and lovely The villain takes his victory at last And everybody's dying just to see it We hold our breath and look away 'Cause real life never gives a final scene I want an Alfred Hitchcock moment Right before we die The moment when we know that it's the end Just kiss Goodbye We’re rewinding old reruns, ghosts in black and white Fading laughs from yesterdays, under neon lights Candle stubs and empty glasses We chase the plot through shattered masses Your head against my shoulder, static on the screen We talk about tomorrow like we’re seventeen The script keeps cutting crucial scenes But I can hear you breathing in between ’Cause every day we write another frame But we never see who’s signing off our names That's when it hits me Right before it all turns ugly Right before it all goes dark There's something beautiful and lovely The villain takes his victory at last And everybody's dying just to see it We hold our breath and look away 'Cause real life never gives a final scene I want an Alfred Hitchcock moment Right before we die The moment when we know that is over Just kiss Goodbye
