Motion Picture Soundtrack Lyrics

[Verse 1]
White wine and sleeping pills
Help me get back to your arms
Cheap sex and sad films
Help me get where I belong

[Chorus]
I think you're crazy, baby
I think you're crazy, baby

[Verse 2]
Stop sending letters
Letters always get burned
It's not like the movies
They fed us on little white lies

[Chorus]
I think you're crazy, baby
I think you're crazy, baby

[Bridge]
I will see you in the next life

[Instrumental break]

[Chorus]
I think you're crazy, baby
I think you're crazy, baby
I think you're crazy, baby
I think you're crazy, baby

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Answer

Greg Gonzales:

I first heard a version of this song that was just lead vocals and guitar, recorded live at a show in 1997. I love how they turned it into the finished song they made years later, but there was something about the simplicity of that stripped-down original recording that has always stuck with me.

I wanted our version to try to capture that feeling somehow and focus on the beautiful sadness and romance I felt in the lyrics. We actually recorded it in 2015 on the same day as “Affection” and our covers of “Keep On Loving You” and “Neon Moon”, but somehow it didn’t feel quite right to release it until now. Luckily, the song has only become more personal to me over the years and I’m really happy it’s finally out…
