[Lyrics]

(Chorus)
She tries to erase,
She tries to replace,
How it feels, but I...,
Know she can never go home,
She tries to erase,
She tries to replace,
How it feels, but I...,
Know she can never go home,

(Verse 1)
Tried to forget about,
Living a good life,
Free of positions,
Make her feel vulnerable.
She's loved and she's lost,
She failed in the call,
She seeks to find the answer, now,

(Verse 2 + 3)
Woke up today around 6 in the morning,
Violently shaking, remembering what she once saw.
She bared it alone,
So she carried on,
She seeks to find the answers for...

(Pre-Chorus)
The reasons her life did not turn out...
More like a movie
She's trying to forget it all

(Bridge)
I don't believe in anything
But I believe in you
I never trusted anyone
But somehow I trust you
And if I fall away, someday you might find me
If I fall away, someday...

No Picture Average	#1 by Riqu - at Feb 7, 1970 at 12:05 AM EST
	Ah..I saw Midtown 3 days ago at Deconstruction 2002 in London and they were certainly the best band of the day.I also spoke to Rob and got signed by rest + the movielife.So..this is my favorite Midtown song, so original,superb lyrics!

No Picture Jimmy Average	#2 by Jimmy Dresbach at Nov 17, 1973 at 7:51 PM EST
	i heard this song for the first time and cried,,, i love midtown and their lyrics... everyone can relate to this song

No Picture Eric Wanna Be	#3 by Eric Canfield at Dec 28, 1979 at 3:35 AM EST
	I know that everyone likes Midtown. I read in a couple of different interviews that they are stuck-up assholes. Gabe said that Midtown was just his hobby and if they didn't big he would break up the band. Also, Gabe was partially behind Dashboard leaving drivethru records. He also told Finch a bunch of lies about the drivethru owners. To sum things up: Midtown = great music Gabe = asshole that bites that hand that feeds him a.k.a. Drivethru Records. I still like both cds

No Picture sebastian Professional	#4 by sebastian at Mar 12, 1986 at 1:29 AM EST
	Some one once criticized me for 'treating my life like a movie'. That, plus the fact that he's the one who got me started on being obsessed with Midtown, makes the irony in this song so great for me I think I'm gonna explode ever time I hear it.

No Picture Guitar FrE@k Average	#5 by Guitar FrE@k Freak at Aug 30, 1987 at 11:20 AM EST
	this song is great! I think everyone can relate to this song once in a while. Trying to compare ur life to someone elses.

No Picture health risk Average	#6 by health risk at Oct 27, 1994 at 7:46 AM EST
	I absolutely love Midtown's old work, but their new cd is lacking the power that Save The World, Lose The GIrl had. And it's way too fucking poppy and cliched. I think this is the only decent song on the new cd.. actually only a few lines of it make it good. "I don't believe in anything, but I believe in you. I never trusted anyone, but somehow I trust you." Mainly because Gabe isnt singing. His voice is just horrendous on the album.

No Picture alex Rhythm Player	#7 by alex Smith at Feb 13, 2001 at 4:19 AM EST
	this song is amazing. nothing more can be said.

No Picture M Average	#8 by M K-O at Dec 20, 2001 at 8:48 AM EST

No Picture Justin Average	#9 by Justin Ruiz at Jun 8, 2004 at 3:57 AM EST
