"Hollywood" lyrics

"Hollywood"

Boards on the windows and chains on the door
A dusty, outdated marquee
But light bulbs still flicker, and people here tell me
The old movies play on repeat
And it's been a while since your friends let me know
The theater's an awful first date
But you looked so pretty, and I was so nervous
I couldn't have talked anyway

Despite all the years
Oh, I still hear symphonies swirlin' around you
So I find it strange
Oh, darlin', that you let these worries surround you

You've been so scared that you'll lose me
'Cause all of the runners you've seen
But darlin', we're Paul and Joanna
In chucks and blue jeans
And they'll try to put it in movies
But Hollywood can't fit it into frame
So they'll roll the cameras
And we'll still be dancin' backstage

I've driven longer than should be allowed
But concerts still don't play themselves
And my eyes get misty when talkin' about you
I'm hopin' Chicago can't tell

Despite all the years
Oh, I still hear symphonies swirlin' around you
My name in the lights
Oh, darlin', but I can't stop thinkin' about you

You've been so scared that you'll lose me
'Cause all of the runners you've seen
But darlin', we're Paul and Joanna
In chucks and blue jeans, ay
And they'll try to put it in movies
But Hollywood can't fit it into frame
So they'll roll the cameras
And we'll still be dancin' backstage
