I wanna come home to you, the you that I knew You’d drop what you’re doing and demand that I hold you Living room serenades, dusty records that still play My hand on your waist while you spin up the staircase Brown bangs hugging your pale face Black bags like saucers under eyes like space
And of course we will dance until we can’t stay awake You might not be Molly I sure ain’t no James But together we’re a movie a film that John Hughes made And I just wanted to play, and play, and play, and play But after the credits we will stay, we’ll stay, we’ll stay We will stay
No I don’t have a job at least not a conventional one You don’t get along with your mom because you never felt loved One day your daughter will, one day her father will And we could be those parents that we wished we had We didn’t meet at a school we met when we were supposed to I screwed a lot of things up but sweetheart so did you I will still call you sugar, ’cause like sugar you still taste Somedays a little more sour but sweeter somehow most days
And of course we will dance until we can’t stay awake You might not be Molly I sure ain’t no James But together we’re a movie a film that John Hughes made And I just wanted to play, and play, and play But after the credits we will stay, we’ll stay I just wanted to play, and play, and play While you stayed
Just promise me you’ll hold that look on your face Even when you don’t feel it, you’ll force it anyway We’re all just chasing versions of ourselves In an experience on a train An experience you and I actually shared, and we shared it in the rain We almost froze to death but our adrenaline kicked in and it kept us safe And I called you peaches ’cause that was your name
And of course we will dance until we can’t stay awake And of course I’ll hold your hand even when you say you need space ‘Cause we’re just a movie that the critics probably hate But I just wanted to play, and play, and play, and play
And of course we will dance until we can’t stay awake You might not be Molly I sure ain’t no James But together we’re a movie a film that John Hughes made And I just wanted to play, and play, and play But after the credits we will stay, we’ll stay I just wanted to play, and play, and play While you stayed
After the credits we’ll still be kissing And the theater attendant will ask us to get going But we laugh at them dear ’cause we’re the final showing We are the movie they’re missing The movie everyone’s missing
