Anything Like The Movies
Chasing Dreams Through Rain and Neon Lights
Lyrics
Well I wake up in the morning
Reflecting on waking up in the morning
One more cigarette left to smoke
Having one last cigarette
There's no breakfast on the table
No breakfast, but holding onto hope
But there's hope
Hopeful despite challenges
Now the paperboy is on time today
Noticing the paperboy being on time
But the news is already late
News is already late, possibly symbolizing missed opportunities
And the radio plays the same damn song
Disliking the repetitive song on the radio
That I hate
Expressing dislike for a particular song
The Rain's about to fall
Anticipation of rain
I guess we'll wait it out
Waiting out the rain
Now we're walking down the sidewalk
Walking in an unpleasant town
In this God-forsaken town
Feeling discontent with the current situation
But if it's anything like the movies
Comparing life to movies, hoping for a positive outcome
We'll get out
Optimism about getting out of the current situation
And maybe see our names in neon lights
Dreaming of seeing names in neon lights
Have we made it to the promised land?
Questioning if they have reached a promised land
Just a couple of dreams, we'll catch them
Pursuing dreams and hoping to achieve them
If we can
Expressing the possibility of achieving dreams
The rain's about to fall
Anticipation of rain again
I guess we'll wait it out
Will wait out the challenges
So baby where did I go wrong?
Reflecting on personal mistakes
Now I know where I belong
Realizing where one truly belongs
It never had to be somewhere new
Emphasizing that happiness doesn't have to be somewhere new
As long as I'm with you
Contentment with being with a loved one
Now we're driving down the highway
Driving back to the hometown
Headed back to our little town
Returning to a familiar place
It was nothing like the movies
Reality not matching movie expectations
What we found
Finding something different but valuable
It doesn't matter where we're going
Indifference to the destination
Or all the places that we've been
Reflecting on past experiences
Guess we'll find out what we're made of
Discovering inner strength and character
In the end
Realizing the importance of the journey
It doesn't matter where we're going
Indifference to the destination (repeated)
Or all the places we have been
Reflecting on past experiences (repeated)
I guess we'll find out what we're made of
Discovering inner strength and character (repeated)
In the end
Realizing the importance of the journey (repeated)
