[Verse 1: Ryan Miller]
I know a movie star, I've got her plastered to my wall
Just like we're dear old friends, like she already knows me
She's perfect as she seems, lifts me right out the mezzanine
'Cause I finally fell in love, I've been waiting forever

[Chorus: Miller & Adam Gardner]
4, 3, 2, 1
Went out the barrel of a gun
Keep my head way down
Stay out or stay in
Half dead, half numb
She's enough to make me warm
It's all so safe and sound

[Verse 2: Miller]
Eyes back and fast asleep, if you could see what I could see
Drip drop a lovely dream
God damn you movie stars, can't you just play a minute more
'Cause we'd be the best of friends, I've been waiting forever

[Chorus: Miller & Gardner]
4, 3, 2, 1
Went out the barrel of a gun
Keep my head way down
Stay out or stay in
Half dead, half numb
She's enough to make me warm
It's all so safe and sound
