He's painting his face like the porch on his father's home
she says her "I love you"s as long as they are in songs
he's painting the backdrop like a setting in a dream
she doesn't feel guilt cause it's only her role who's mean
Hey hey theatre girl
show the world a happy end
Oh oh theatre boy
tell them it will be okay
if we only kiss on stage
and only when we're wearing faces
it's only almost just like love
She puts on a mask like her mother when she's not sleeping
he's wearing his brave face like himself when he's not weeping
she's playing villain, brings the end, she's bringing doom
he's rehearsing his lines like a mirror in someone's room
Hey hey theatre girl
show the world a happy end
Oh oh theatre boy
tell them it will be okay
if we only kiss on stage
and only when we're wearing faces
it's only almost just like love
Hear hear, come watch them play, go up on stage
pretend that they're someone else
'til the world decides it's time to be okay
tell the world that it's 'bout time to be okay
Hey hey theatre girl
show the world a happy end
Oh oh theatre boy
tell them it will be okay
if we only kiss on stage
and only when we're wearing faces
it's only almost just like love (like love)
