The Shadowboxers

Lead Role

I'm pressing play in my head
I see us walking on the boardwalk
Eyes are locked in, and I take your hand like this
Fade out to black the end
Bring the lights up
Is it still us or was everything you felt pretend?

'Cause I said it, 'cause I mean it
Does it mean that we can be that
Everything that I believe in, that I see in
When I look into your eyes and
Then I'm falling, there I go
And my emotion taking over
I don't know if I'm alone on my own
And feeling what I feel
Believing that it's real

I don't, don't need to know that
You've got someone else playing me and he's better
And if my part is solo and he takes the lead role
I don't need to know

Baby, just learn your lines
'Cause it's the sequel
And it will be full of making love, just you and I

'Cause I said it, 'cause I mean it
Does it mean that we can be that
Everything that I believe in, that I see in
When I look into your eyes and
Then I'm falling, there I go
And my emotion taking over
I don't know if I'm alone on my own
And feeling what I feel
Believing that it's real

I don't, don't need to know that
You've got someone else playing me and he's better
And if my part is solo and he takes the lead role
I don't need to know

But don't it make you feel right
When I'm kissing you and you hold tight?
I press rewind a thousand times in my head
And I wonder if you do too
But maybe, then again, it's best I leave it

I don't, don't need to know that
You've got someone else playing me and he's better
And if my part is solo and he takes the lead role
I don't need to know

Don't need to know that
You've got someone else playing me and he's better
And if my part is solo and he takes the lead role
I don't need to know
