TV Screen - ...music video?

I saw you on the TV screen

Or maybe that was just a dream

You presence never makes much sense to me

I try to find the words to say

But you won’t hear me anyway

My voice is white noise dancing on the screen

If I could only just pretend for once to say the things I mean

I saw you in a picture book

I had to take a second look

I wish I had the attention span to read

But then you turned and looked at me

Your face was gone for me to see

And everything’s exactly what it seems

If I could only just pretend for once to say the things I mean

And maybe you could just pretend to understand the things I’ve seen

And it feels just like letting go

I saw you in a magazine

It might have been a movie screen

My minds been playing subtle tricks on me

I’m close enough to touch you now

But I can’t do it anyhow

You’re better off remaining in my dreams

We would stay awake for good
