Alluring Silver Screen Dreams

Strong women would like someone there,
just not to rescue them; 
All of those alluring silver screen dreams; 
No they don’t need him but they’d like to
give love a second chance;

Rehab for hopeless romantics;
Yeah we’ve seen it all in the movies;
All of those alluring silver screen dreams;
Blurred vowels kissed into deep scowls,
all of this rotten love for sale;

The words resemble dribble and leftovers
accompanied by a timeless type theme;
All of those alluring silver screen dreams;
Modern reality is so tasteless and bland
we’re left coveting wild salt water passion;

When you have happily ever after eyes 
nothing can ever quite measure up;
Strong women would like someone there
to pull them back and rescue them,
from every alluring silver screen dream.
