TV screen by Music Video Lyrics

I saw you on the TV screen
Or maybe that was just a dream
You presence never makes much sense to me
I try to find the words to say
But you won't hear me anyway
My voice is white noise dancing on the screen

If I could only just pretend for once to say the things I mean

I saw you in a picture book
I had to take a second look
I wish I had the attention span to read
But then you turned and looked at me
Your face was gone for me to see
And everything's exactly what it seems

If I could only just pretend for once to say the things I mean
And maybe you could just pretend to understand the things I've seen

And it feels just like letting go
I saw you in a magazine
It might have been a movie screen
My minds been playing subtle tricks on me
I'm close enough to touch you now
But I can't do it anyhow
You're better off remaining in my dreams

We would stay awake for good
