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
