LYRICS:
It happened like I always dreamed
You showed up unannounced
We talked on my quiet street
For two perfect hours

The rain fell right on cue
The moon shifted into view
It painted the garden blue
I leaned in to kiss you

How could that be with you?
A moment so true
A feeling I never knew
All as fleeting as you

Cause then the scene faded
The set you created
You packed it up and broke it down
Now I guess I’ll just see you around

I smiled as I turned my key
Replaying in my mind
Every pretty thing you said to me
Like a well-crafted movie line

But part of me still knew
It was too good to be true
My hopeless romantic refused
To see the real you

How could that be with you?
A moment so true
A feeling I never knew
All as fleeting as you

Cause then the scene faded
The set you created
You packed it up and broke it down
Now I guess I’ll just see you around

When I see you at the bar
Two months down the line
I’ll smile and play my part
Laugh and say it’s fine

I’ll pretend you never lied
In my bed or in my heart
I’ll do my best to reconcile
The actor and his art

How could that be with you?
A moment so true
A feeling I never knew
All as fleeting as you

Was any word of it true?
The script we read through
Do you cry like I do?
Did it mean something to you?

Cause then the scene faded
The set you created
You packed it up and broke it down
I hate that I have to see you around
