Lyrics:

I can read what was said
But I can’t read your mind
I can like every post
But I can’t take your ghost offline 

Now, I can’t write your script
I can’t even draft mine
Still I’m dying to see
If we’ll meet in act three
This time

Can we cut to take two?
Picture me next to you
Wanna cut to take two?
I'm in a close-up with you 

Let’s cut to take two 
Coming soon 
Just light from the moon 
Point and shoot 

When they said action, we knew 
That the next line is you 
That the next line’s all you 
I think the next line is you

Made a rez for tonight
Got my costume designed
They can’t fill up my cup
No one holds candles up 
To your shine

We can keep making scenes 
We can twist our plotlines
Now our ending is bare
But we know something’s there
Alright

Shall we cut to take two?
We keep on rolling straight through
Let’s cut to take two
I wanna zoom on you 

Fade to black 
I see a montage playing back
All the memories that might’ve been
Every take 
Could’ve been our big break
Now the sequel can begin

It’s not a wrap till take two
Picture me next to you
Wanna cut to take two?
I'm in a close-up with you 

Let’s cut to take two 
Coming soon 
Just the light from the moon 
Point and shoot 

When they said action, we knew 
That the next line’s all you 
I think the next line is you
I think the next line is you
I think the next line is you
This time I’ll act better too
