Movie Kisses by Thea Gilmore Lyrics

Tell me, are you really leaving?
I fell so far I'm almost on the ceiling
You said I've got a way with words, I'm not so sure
But baby I know I got away with murder

So then, here we are full circle
And I'm tired of the romantic hard-sell
You know those sentimental lines are where we went wrong
‘Cause all those movie kisses just last too long

So let's push the curtains back
Let's give this love a heart attack

Now babe get out your theory
And we can explain away the mystery
‘Cause you painted me in Chroma key blue and kept me thin
So I would disappear when you put your landscape in

Guess I had my red shoes on
So strike a match and let's move on
Here it is, the not-so-happy-ending
We've done our picket fence defending
We did Bogart and Bacall and now the spotlight's gone and anyway
All those movie kisses just last too long, I said
All those movie kisses just last too long, yeah
All those movie kisses just last too long
Too long
Too long
