"Leading Actress" lyrics

Transmitting a signal from, in-between power lines
Your voice sounds like an echo of a long drawn out goodbye
Pacing in the parking lot, I cry beneath a bright New Jersey moon

You used to be a stranger standing way off to the side
Now you're standing front and center under the spotlight
And I should have known better than to let the plot revolve around you

Now I'm sleeping in the middle of the mattress
Thinking about changing up my address
And somehow you are still the leading actress
In the movie of my life

Peering out the window as I watch the world expand
And building up the courage to call you when I land
Flying over the Atlantic, I'm a thousand different shades of blue

Heavy anticipation and the silence on the drive
It's the longest trip we've taken down I-65
Hanging in background, just waiting on you to make the move

And I'm sleeping in the middle of the mattress
Thinking about changing up my address
And somehow you are still the leading actress
In the movie of my life

I've tried to imagine a life with someone new
They've copied all your lines, they've memorized your moves
But you're still in every scene I'm clinging to leftover references of you

And someone sleeps on your side of the mattress
While you're driving back to someone else's address
But you're always gonna be the leading actress
In the movie of my life
