Well, I do know everyone wants to be the star
And I do know everyone can’t make it very far
And everyone wants to be their favorite character
But movies they have so many characters

And I
I do know not everyone will be ok
So I will walk and I will crawl if need be
And I will do what I need to, to keep moving on

Well, safe to say my character is still on the fence
And sometimes I find me thinking it all make sense
And other times I find no sense at all
But in the movies always some characters fall

And it is so that
I do know not everyone will be ok
So I will walk and I will crawl if need be
And I will do what I need to, to keep moving on

I will do what I need to, to keep this movie on
My character should be good, lifeless so long
But today in the shower scene, the water washed me clean
I smelled the blood, not movie blood, not the kind with pretense
My character stepped out anew and gave me some sense
My character now leans to one side of the fence

Well, she was healthy and then suddenly she dropped dead
And he was coming up ‘til his piano fell on his head
Well it is so I do know not everyone will be ok
So everyday you can wake up and push play

And I
I do know not everyone will be ok
And I will walk and I will crawl if need be
And I will do what I need to, to keep this movie on
