Faces On Film

I didn't know you were an actor
Played every part
Climbed up the ladder
Taking your time
Taking the longer way

But they took your life
From you, sign those papers
I couldn't help, I couldn't save ya
They wrote the lines
They thought you should say

If I could hide you under my cape
Tuck you away in my suitcase
When you get tired of being alone
Anywhere but here is home
It's not in your deal
When you say when I will
Leave behind the world

My favorite scenes are when you're escaping
Finding a place you could be safe in
Hiding your eyes
Cover them with your hair

You follow the road
You know where it's winding
You do what your told
Or you truly deciding
Tells me your part
That we had to find a way

If I could hide you under my cape
Tuck you away in my suitcase
You get tired of being alone
Anywhere but here is home
It's not in your deal
When you say when I will
Leave behind the world
Faces on film

If I could hide you under my cape
Tuck you away in my suitcase
When you get tired of being alone
Anywhere but here is home
It's not in your deal
If you're so good, I fear
It's the underneath that's real
Let's leave behind the world
