As The Film Plays On

I stand with my back to the door
I stand with my heart on the floor
As I look in the eyes of the people left behind
As the film plays on
As the reel moves on

Look to the screen and pretend not to feel
The images flicker ‘cause nothing is real
But we watch, pretend the corner of our eye ain’t there
As the film plays on
As the reel moves on

Everyone waits alone for someone to call, someone to stay
No sound but the click of the reel
As the film plays on
As the reel moves on

Look at the people, see how they stare
And the reel keeps on turning and nobody cares
As the film plays on
As the reel moves on

I stand with my back to the door
I stand with my heart on the floor
As I look in the eyes of the people left behind
As the film plays on
As the reel moves on
