Faces on Film

[Verse 1] I didn't know you were an actor Played every part Climbed up the ladder Taking your time Taking the longer way [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 Faces on film [Verse 3] My favorite scenes are when you're escaping Finding a place you could be safe in Hiding your eyes Cover them with your hair [Verse 4] 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 [Chorus] [Altered Chorus] 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 Faces on film
