Terra Lightfoot - NFB Lyrics

Oh I'd like to take you to the National Film Board in the afternoon
I'd spend all my dollars just to watch the movie screens with you
We could stay there all day because we have nothing else to do
All this summer loving has got me in a place I can't handle

What if we stayed way too late and then got locked in overnight?
Would we keep on watching movie screens until the next day's morning light?
Would you be my last action hero and jump into the fires of the screen?
And when all of the bad guys came, would you be running to save me?

And we don't have the courage to act this out now
Oh, I need some time to learn my lines
And we don't have the courage to act this out now
Oh, I need some time, I need some time

Take me to your apartment and show me your father's old guitars
Tell me how he died and all the ways he lives on in your heart
And tell me why your mother never did forgive him, all that time
Tell me why you're tellin' me all these things you tend to keep inside

And we don't have the courage to act this out now
No, I need some time to learn my lines
And we don't have the courage to act this out now
No, I need some time, I need some time
Oh, I need some time, I need some time
Oh, I need some time, I need some time
