We're rolling down the highway

I'm rolling down my window, then 

I stick my hand out, and fly with it as it flows

If I started thinking, instead of looking back

You wouldn't see me sinking, before they covered up the crack



This is what it feels like, coming down

We're all in the movie, can't turn it off or shut it down

This is what it feels like, if that's so

Then where is the director to tell us where the hell to go?



[Pre-Chorus]

I've got this film in my head

They've scripted all that I've said

Let's make it real before we're dead



[Chorus]

Because we're close enough, we're diamonds in the rough

Today's the day we finally say, you can't turn this movie off

And if we talk, we might as well just blow this all to hell

It's not a film or a fantasy and we're not just make believe



So this is what it feels like, running through my lines

I'm never the pretender, I find it's just a waste of time

This is what it feels like, when the hero dies

On to the next one, funny how time flies



[Pre-Chorus]

I've got this film in my head

They've scripted all that I've said

Let's make it real before we're dead



[Chorus]

Because we're close enough, we're diamonds in the rough

Today's the day we finally say, you can't turn this movie off

And if we talk, we might as well just blow this all to hell

It's not a film or a fantasy and we're not just make believe

It's not a film or a fantasy, we're not just make believe



As long as I play me, and as long as you play you

God I love this scene, I've got to thank the cast and crew

Don't let the credits roll, don't let the credits roll!



[Chorus]

Because we're close enough, we're diamonds in the rough

Today's the day we finally say, you can't turn this movie off

And if we talk, we might as well just blow this all to hell

It's not a film or a fantasy and we're not just make believe

It's not a film or a fantasy and we're not just make believe

It's not a film or a fantasy, we're not just make believe
