    High school me was in love with this album and this track in particular. I'm thirty now. Thanks The Postal Service.

    I was waiting for a cross-town train in the London Underground
    When it struck me (when it struck me)
    That I'd been waiting since birth to
    Find a love that would look and sound
    Like a movie
    So I changed my plans, I rented a camera and a van
    And then I called you
    I need you to pretend that we are in love again
    And you agreed to
    I want so badly to believe
    That there is truth, that love is real
    And I want life in every word
    To the extent that it's absurd
    I grease the lens and frame the shot using a friend
    As my stand-in (as my stand-in)
    The script had called for rain but it was clear that day
    So we faked it
    The marker snapped and I yelled, "Quiet on the set!"
    And then called, "Action!" (And the called action)
    I kissed you in a style Clark Gable would have admired
    I thought it classic
    I want so badly to believe
    That there is truth, that love is real
    And I want life in every word
    To the extent that it's absurd
    I know you're wise beyond your years
    But do you ever get the fear
    That your perfect verse is just a lie
    You tell yourself to help you get by
    That you tell yourself to help you get by

      Love is real. Sometimes you just have to be patient in waiting for it to show itself. I know I'm still waiting.

      I discovered it the summer after my 5th grade year. One of the best summers of my life. I can't listen to a single postal service song without being sent back to those golden sunsets with me and my friends playing in muddy creeks on the edge of the forest, and chasing after fireflies. For me personally, all of these older songs are the essence of summer.

    has another artist sampled the intro of this song? cause it sounds so familiar, like I swear I've heard it elsewhere

    I have a good history with this song, I liked a girl name Bailey that knew it a long time ago. In 2010 I requested on Columbia College radio in Chicago and during the DJ swap they played it for me :) whew
