Boards on the windows and chains on the door
A dusty, outdated marquee
But light bulbs still flicker and people here tell me
The old movies play on repeat
And it's been a while since your friends let me know
The theater's an awful first date
But you looked so pretty and I was so nervous
I couldn't have talked anyway
Despite all the years
Oh, I still hear symphonies swirling around you
So I find it strange
Oh darling, that you let these worries surround you
You've been so scared that you'll lose me
Cause all of the runners you've seen
But darling, we're Paul and Joanna
In chucks and blue jeans
And they'll try to put it in movies
But Hollywood can't fit it into frame
So they'll roll the cameras
And we'll still be dancing backstage
I've driven longer than should be allowed
But concerts still don't play themselves
And my eyes get misty when talking about you
I'm hoping Chicago can't tell
Despite all the years
Oh, I still hear symphonies swirling around you
My name in the lights
Oh darling, but I can't stop thinking about you
You've been so scared that you'll lose me
Cause all of the runners you've seen
But darling, we're Paul and Joanna
In chucks and blue jeans
And they'll try to put it in movies
But Hollywood can't fit it into frame
So they'll roll the cameras
And we'll still be dancing backstage
