I'm your average dreamer
I'm a true escapist
Always expecting a happy ending
Maybe I've been watching too many movies
Maybe I should grow up and stop pretending

When I saw your face though
Everything was slow-mo
And I started wondering why

Why can't it be
Just a pathway full of roses
Leading to a sunset view
Where the one you've always dreamed of waits
Why can't it be
It was like a movie scene
The way I fell for you
Only you didn't fall
Now it's not like the movies at all

Should've kept my heart shut
Should've been more patient
Should've kept an eye on my addiction

What was I expecting
Did I have a vision
Of a scene that only lives in fiction
Now I know that you are
Not gonna be my co-star
And I start to wonder why

Why can't it be
Just a pathway full of roses
Leading to a sunset view
Where the one you've always dreamed of waits
Why can't it be
It was like a movie scene
The way I fell for you
Only you didn't fall
Now it's not like the movies at all
Oooh..

Why can't it be
Just a pathway full of roses
Leading to a sunset view
Where the one you've always dreamed of waits
Why can't it be
It was like a movie scene
The way I fell for you
Only you didn't fall
Now it's not like the movies at all

Just a pathway full of roses
Leading to a sunset view
Where the one you've always dreamed of waits
Why can't it be
It was like a movie scene
The way I fell for you
Only you didn't fall
Now it's not like the movies at all
Oooh...
