Documentary

from Your Daily Dose by Sam Tunkel

/

lyrics

Let's go see a movie
And when we go we'll let the big screen tell us our story
I'll let the scenes play out and decide for me
If I have it in me, to let you go

I'm having trouble trying to foresee
As we walk around the forty
The outcome and the ending
When we sit down for the show

I can't keep concealing my hurt inside of a jar
But I think you've already seen it, for me it's not that hard
I need to lay you down quietly before this goes too far

Then while we were watching
Something hit my head that I could not see
The character on the screen, a perfect reflection of me
Like the mirror on my door

It must be a documentary
About the broken hearts, how can they still keep their beat
Well you ain't felt nothing til you got marks to see
When it breaks patch it up, and stand tall

And I'm so happy that for this you were there
Though I hold you, you're too heavy for my heart to bear
And I couldn't let you see when I teared into your hair

A passionate love scene, two factors in their play
My burning longing for romance, has never gone away
I reflect my own reflection, are we the mirror to them
Is this all just a movie, can I do another take then

And like the hero I kissed you
As the loser on the screen does too

And when it was all over
The cinema was lit with a blinding light so hopeful
And you looked and noticed my eyes so tearful
With your cameras staring in wonder

Then it was all over
If I can't hold myself how can I hold someone else any longer
But I would if I could if I ever get any stronger
Everyday I'm getting closer

Tonight I'll go to sleep, not passing out on a call
And in my dreams, on the big screen I'll stand tall
I'll make a documentary, from the entry, to my fall
