If life was the movie playing in my head...

Let's stay in tonight... you and I, connected by more than this virtual line of (sur)reality. 
I'll cling to the dim and dying light and hold on to what's left inside of me. We'll lose ourselves in each other's tales and find ourselves in each other's whispers.

My soul will come to rest with the sun already rising... I'll want to lay my head on your shoulder after the wine has mellowed our words, after all the books are read, all the stories are old and the music goes silent.

As the fire tints the horizon, it is your light that will bring me to rest upon the rocks... 
If I stay here, beneath the shadow of every heartache, will you come to find me in time?

If life was the movies playing in my head...

Let's stay in tonight in a different world this time. I'll wait for you to come home, to kiss and hold you, to whisper in your ear everything I have been trying to shush. We'll make it ours just this once, silence the fight outside and we'll let happiness embrace our bodies. We'll exist in each other, fight for each other... I'll let you win my broken heart and you'll take it gently to this new life I daydream so much about. I won't feel your absence anymore and without a sound I'll bury my fears once and for all.

If life was the movie playing in my head...

Let's stay home and find yourself again, break your soul in small pieces so we can puzzle it back together forever. We'll share the same old gin as we used to and the same old love we could never really speak. We'll be truthful just this once... we'll forget this new someone we so vainly parade for each other and as one we will be whole... tonight and forevermore!

If life was the movie playing in my head...

Let's stay in tonight like the old days. Let's just be lazy and caring and quietly exist in between these long hours that run so carelessly. Let's treasure these ordinary moments and feel them extraordinarily with each look... with each sigh of content. I'll lay my head on your shoulder while listening to my tired moody songs and it will all be meaningfully perfect again.

If life was the movie playing in my head...

Let's stay in tonight. Together and not far apart.

Let's share embraces of this strange love that keeps us dreaming, kisses of hopeful disbelief and long stares that say what this goofiness won't allow.

I'll hold you and I'll caress you. I will silently pray for you to let me show you what happiness is like.

We'll stay up all night until we can no longer fight the sleep away from our eyes... Then I'll let my head fall on your arms and holding me tight you'll whisper me sweet words of good night.

If life was the movie playing in my head...

Let's stay in tonight, dear stranger. Talk it all out, build known forces from unknown characters, learn all there's to learn from each other and find peace where once there was only loneliness. There will be no ocean in between, nor any land we could have conquered, for we are certain we'll end up where we belong.

Let's go to Paris you and I. Catch a plane into the night and disappear together in the city of lights. Let's walk along the Seine, sip french wine and share a baguette while listening to our sweet autumn songs of desire. We will be corny and we will be cliché, but most of all, we will be sickeningly in love.

If life was the movie playing in my head.

Let's go home tonight, drink too much gin and star in movies of our own. We'll dance and laugh and fool around. The sun will be a witness when my tired body finally finds some rest, laying in bed with your arms holding me tight. I'll feel you breathing deep against my neck and dream of a future that I can only wish would be ours. 

If life was the movie playing in my head.

Let's go home, my love, be silly and fun. You'll be mine for this night, the next morning and every single day that will follow. I'll cook some pancakes while you still sleep. I'll wake you slowly stroking your curls as I gently kiss your neck. We can spend hours, that will seem like seconds, listening to music and laying lazily, naked in my bed. It will be happy. It will be love... It will be home.

If life was the movie playing in my head.

Let's stay in tonight. Get high and have a glass of wine. We'll keep whispering to each other all those feelings we insist on denying and all those words we shouldn't be saying. We won't hide on empty spaces or silent moments and the past won't cast a shadow in this instant of ours. You'll let me love you and I'll let you save me.  Peace will embrace us. Finally. 

If life was the movie playing in my head.

Let's stay in tonight. We will spend countless moments looking in each other's eyes until there's no words left unsaid and a new world is born to be found. We will know, as we kiss, that we can be hopeful to find something more powerful than fear. Our souls will live again, believe again, feel again and we will be acutely aware of all we've been taking for granted. Love will be true once more.

If life was the movie playing in my head.

Let's stay in tonight. We will have a drink or two, laugh at the words cautiously unspoken and smile while trying to capture every careful detail in each other's eyes. Our fears will be running maniacally inside our souls and we will dare them to stop us from being, just once more, as peaceful as we were tonight. 

If life was the movie playing in my head.

Let's go to Narnia tonight, you and I. Get lost in a world of freedom and beg for the stars to be kind, like a supplicant pleads for a miracle. We will find the grace we lost behind and there will be choirs to sing our newfound redemption.

If life was the movie playing in my head.

Let's stay in tonight. Talk about our sad stories and then laugh at it all as we both know we found comfort again in each other's eyes. We won't let the red wine turn to vinegar in that open bottle and love won't be a haunting secret no more.

If life was the movie playing in my head.

Let's watch Garden State once again, dream of our own elipsis and let Such Great Heights transform us in corresponding pieces from the clay. There will be beauty in our careless, sleepless nights and our hearts will never be the same again. You will be an evolutionist and I'll just be broken. We will both be happy.

If life was the movie playing in my head.

Let's go to Vegas tonight... Go out all night, go crazy and wild, play the same cheap slot machines and go back to the hotel room only when the sun is already out. Our tired bodies won't win and we'll have breakfast on that same bar on the Strip, 2 for 1 Coronas and a yard-long margarita to go. The music won't let us sleep by the pool as our restless hands search for one another. It will be perfectly decadent... It will be love.

If life was the movie playing in my head.

Let's go out tonight, just you and I. Let's dance to some tired 80's songs or a top 40 pop single, drink shots of Patrón and act like teenagers again. We will go home after the music stops, laughing and still dancing while making silly promises to each other. You will give me a piggyback ride up the stairs, to your room and the world will seem ours just this once!

If life was the movie playing in my head.

Let's stay in tonight. I'll drink some Cabernet and you'll open up a couple of IPAs. We can play durak and laugh with Loveline on KROQ. It will be calm and warm in the room as we sit on the couch and realize that heaven is just this.

If life was the movie playing in my head.

Close your eyes, trust me again and let's hike up the Sycamore Hill. We will share a beer this one last time, keep our hands clasped tight and watch the city lights take over the horizon as the sun disappears behind the mountains (I know, the sunset…always the sunset!).

We will know it is the end but we will smile for there is no time or space that could ever torn our past spirits apart.

If life was the movie playing in my head.

Let's go to the coffeeshop tonight, read a bit and stare at each other a lot. I'll drink tea and you'll order a coffee. We will just be happy.
