Just Like The Movies Lyrics

I drove out to queens to meet her

Had a drink to calm my nerves

When I arrived outside the theater

I waited anxiously for her

When I lit my cigarette a voice said stay away cause I just quit

I choked on the smoke and knew in that instant

My heart was racing for her

I drove out to New York City

Met her on the Lower East Side

Sang to me, it was my birthday

Then I pulled her real tight

We got drunk off Irish whiskey, until we got kicked out of Arlene's Grocery

I was sat on the curb and knew in that instant

My heart was racing for her

And just like the movies

A cliche overused

You're so out of my league

It's a dream to be with you

And just like those times

That I saw on the screen

When he falls in love with her and she falls in love with him

Oh that's how it feels when I'm with you.

I'd drive straight into the ocean

I'd dive off the highest cliff

But only if I hadn't met her

So I'm so lucky I did

And I never want to know

A world with out her in it

I feel sick when we're apart

Don't care; we're codependent

And she'll never be alone

As long as she holds my heart

Together we'll grow old

God willing I sure hope so

And just like the movies

A cliche overused

You're so out of my league

It's a dream to be with you

And just like those times

That I saw on the screen

When he falls in love with her and she falls in love with him

Oh and just like a movie

That I never want to end

Everyday's a new surprise

We're always entertained

And just like those times

When we cry at the scene

When he falls in love with her and she falls in love with him

Oh that's how it feels when I'm with you.
