lyrics

Feet hanging over the edge
Watching as movie scenes unfold in frames
Is it all in my head
Or Is everyone three steps ahead
Promenading, now I'm so sick of asking why
Is it them and not me?
Feel like the the main part
Of a story I'll never be

Am I destined to see
The life of an extra
Just weaving through another's romanticised life?
Would that be justified?

Everyone seems to be dancing in pairs
And floating around with their hearts in the air
Unfolding fairytales every night
But for now I'll sit back
And watch these moments take flight

Lights on the riverside shine over wine
With laughter and jokes and handholding and smiles
Maybe one day I will know what that's like
To be the main part of a romanticised life

Balcony room with a view
Seeing the sights all alone
Without someone to share my thoughts to
Seems just like I'll have to make do
Promenading alone, seeing stars in their eyes
It's always them and not me
Feels like a main character's
Someone I'll never be

Am I destined to see
The life of an extra
Just weaving through another's romanticised life?
Would that be justified?

Everyone seems to be dancing in pairs
And floating around with their hearts in the air
Unfolding fairytales every night
But for now I'll sit back
And watch these moments take flight

Lights on the riverside shine over wine
With laughter and jokes and handholding and smiles
Someday I just want to know what that's like
To be the main part of a romanticised life
