Lyrics

[male

vocals] (

Smooth

guitar

chords,

soft

percussive

pulse)

Yeah,

yeah

Just

for

the

night,

just

for

the

light

Let's

play

the

part (

Smooth

guitar

chords,

soft

percussive

pulse)

Yeah,

yeah

Just

for

the

night,

just

for

the

light

Let's

play

the

part

Clock

hits

seven,

I

adjust

my

tie

Check

the

text,

know

my

lines

by

heart

Her

favorite

flowers,

a

practiced

sigh

Just

another

evening,

playing

my

part

The

mirror

knows

the

face

I

wear

A

polished

look,

a

vacant

stare

I’

m

ready

now

to

drift

away

Into

the

game

I

choose

to

play

The

door

swings

open,

a

flash

of

light

Time

to

turn

it

on,

make

it

feel

right

The

world

fades

back,

the

scene

is

set

A

silhouette

of

things

we

haven't

met

yet

Yeah,

I'm

rented,

a

perfect

stand-in

Hold

her

hand,

make

her

believe

For

the

hours

that

you're

paying

This

is

the

role

I

live

to

weave

It’

s

a

rhythm,

it’

s

a

heartbeat

sync

More

than

what

these

people

think

I’

m

your

shadow,

I’

m

your

grace

Just

a

smile

upon

my

face

We

walk

through

dinner,

past

the

knowing

eyes

I

listen

close

to

every

made-up

tale

Laugh

at

the

jokes,

offer

kind

advice

A

convincing

performance,

never

to

fail

The

wine

is

sweet,

the

table’

s

gold

A

story

bought,

a

story

sold

She

leans

in

close

to

catch

my

gaze

Lost

inside

this

velvet

haze

Her

head

on

my

shoulder,

soft

and

warm

Protecting

her

from

every

coming

storm

The

lights

are

dim,

the

music

plays

low

We’

re

moving

steady,

nowhere

to

go

Yeah,

I'm

rented,

a

perfect

stand-in

Hold

her

hand,

make

her

believe

For

the

hours

that

you're

paying

This

is

the

role

I

live

to

weave

It’

s

a

rhythm,

it’

s

a

heartbeat

sync

More

than

what

these

people

think

I’

m

your

shadow,

I’

m

your

grace

Just

a

smile

upon

my

face

And

if

the

sun

begins

to

rise

Will

you

still

look

into

my

eyes?

Or

will

you

pay

the

check

and

leave

Me

here

with

nothing

up

my

sleeve?

I’

m

good

at

this,

I’

m

good

at

play

But

even

actors

lose

their

way

When

the

scene

is

over

and

the

house

is

bare

I’

m

still

searching

for

a

soul

that’

s

really

there

Yeah,

I'm

rented,

a

perfect

stand-in

Hold

her

hand,

make

her

believe

For

the

hours

that

you're

paying

This

is

the

role

I

live

to

weave

It’

s

a

rhythm,

it’

s

a

heartbeat

sync

More

than

what

these

people

think

I’

m

your

shadow,

I’

m

your

grace

Just

a

smile

upon

my

face

Just

a

smile,

just

a

stand-in

Until

the

morning

light

It

was

a

beautiful

performance

But

it’

s

only

for

tonight

Only

for

tonight (

Fade

out

with

lush,

swaying

guitar

melodies)
