Real House

We were playing house

Till the rent went up

And they said move out

I don't wanna do that now

'Cause I like the lines in the script we wrote

Especially the ones unspoke where

Where we just lock eyes

You said the show's getting bad

All of the TV sets make you sad

I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be the reason for that

I know that you gotta move to a real house with real walls

A normal couch where your feet touch the floor

Your head's on the chest of someone you adore

But I'm gonna stay in the good dream, in the last scene

Where you told me the coffee is done

Nobody move, watch trash TV till someone yells "cut!"

This how it plays out

Every other night on a weekday

Begin to watch a movie around 8

Go to bed and fade to the next day

And all the lights go out

And all the audience cheers

You turn away and walk out of here

I remember we're pretending to feel

Oh yeah

Between the start and the stop is just fiction

I think I like the lie like an addiction

That's why I didn't cry when the credits were run

I know that you gotta move to a real house with real walls

A normal couch where your feet touch the floor

Your head's on the chest of someone you adore

But I'm gonna stay in the good dream, in the last scene

Where you told me the coffee is done

Nobody move, watch trash TV till someone yells

Oh, a rerun is fine when you're in it

Until you know how it ended

Then you're just waiting for the screen to go black

Oh, a rerun when you're in it

If you stop before the last minute

And you start again

Can

Can we start again?

I

I don't think I can handle losing my best friend

You said the show's getting bad

All of the TV sets make you sad

I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be the reason for that

You gotta move to a real house with real walls

A normal couch where your feet touch the floor

Your head's on the chest of someone you adore

But I'm gonna stay in the good dream, in the last scene

Where you told me the coffee is done

Nobody move, watch trash TV

And start again

Nobody move, watch trash TV

And start again

Nobody move, watch trash TV till someone yells "cut!"
