I wish that I could make you see
I want to be the man in the movie
I want to be the dashing debonair
Who sweeps you off your feet

How I wish that you would look at me
Tear yourself away from that blue-white screen
Let the protagonist compare
To the way that I�ve always been

Because I don�t know
What�s your really real and what�s a TV show
And I don�t understand
If you really want him to be your man
All I know
Is that I just want you to see
Just that
Just me
Just the man in the movie

Are you really deafened by the credit�s glow
Could you really not feel me go
Did you not see my little smile
That meant I really want to be with you
Did you not see me say goodnight
While my heart spun like a wounded kite
Did you just watch me turn away
And really not hear me say�

I wish that I could make you see
I want to be the man in the movie
I want to be the dashing debonair
Who sweeps you off your feet.
How I wish that you would look at me
Tear yourself away from that blue-white screen
Let the protagonist compare
To the way that I�ve always been

Because I don�t know
What�s your really real and what�s a TV show
And I don�t understand
If you really want him to be your man
All I know
Is that I just want to be
Just that
Just me
Just the man in the movie

How I wish that you would look at me
I want to be the man in the movie
