Romantic Comedies

Not the lead, not the centre of the scenes I'm the fool sitting in the back seat Just the third wheel on the outside looking in There's a boy well over six feet And this girl looks at him like a masterpiece And I'm the guy who's stuck in these deleted scenes By the time the credits roll, I'll be home alone Will I ever be the one pulled into love? Scared to land the roll, I know I'd find a way to mess it up So I avoid and I ignore any chance that leads some more 'Cause it doesn't always end so happily in romantic comedies I'm the punchline of every cheap joke Fit the script, but I'm still a footnote I could try to change, but I've been playing it so well Sometimes I don't mind being lonely But I'm tired of pretending I'm not hoping To find someone who really knows me By the time the credits roll, I'll be home alone Will I ever be the one pulled into love? (Pulled into love) Scared to land the roll, I know I'd find a way to mess it up So I avoid and I ignore any chance that leads to more 'Cause it doesn't always end so happily in romantic comedies Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh So I avoid and I ignore any chance that leads to more 'Cause it doesn't always end so happily in romantic comedies
