If you're looking for a savior
Honey, hearts don't break 'round here
All your new friends will tell ya
We know how to make it disappear

This is gonna be your making
This is where it's gonna hurt
Don't you hear the orchestra playing?
Is it what you said that you want?

I went to the cinema and I cry in the theater
I wish that I made movies, good art, it makes me bitter
I turn on the radio and I grieve when I hear it
The song I wish I'd written and I could've, but I didn't

It goes on, it goes on, it goes on
It goes on, it goes on, it goes on

Guess I better call the preacher
Or bleach my hair to platinum blonde
I should probably go get clean, but
The feeling helps me write better songs

Pretty young thing on the scene, but
My sweet tooth is starting to rot
Think I need a change of the seasons
Maybe a change of heart

I went to the cinema and I cry in the theater
I wish that I made movies, good art, it makes me bitter
I turn on the radio and I grieve when I hear it
The song I wish I'd written and I could've, but I didn't

It goes on, it goes on, it goes on
It goes on, it goes on, it goes on

Oh-oh-on
Oh-oh-on
Oh-oh-on
Oh-oh-on

This frequency, this heart and beat
I've tried to shut down the sound, but it comes from me
I open my mouth, I'm singing off-key
Pray that time will wait for me

I went to the cinema and I cry in the theater
I wish that I made movies, good art, it makes me bitter
I turn on the radio and I grieve when I hear it
The song I wish I'd written and I could've, but I didn't

It goes on, it goes on, it goes on
It goes on, it goes on, it goes on

Oh-oh-on
Oh-oh-on
Oh-oh-on
Oh-oh-on
Oh-oh-on
Oh-oh-on
Oh-oh-on
Oh-oh-on
