The Film Did Not Go ’Round Songtext
von Nada Surf

The shutter clicked, but the film did not go ′round
The shutter clicked, but the film did not go 'round
I touch these strings, but cannot touch the sound

Take a train to a bus, and then into the air
Take a train to a bus, and then into the air
If I had wings, I′d follow you up there

Girl you know I hate to see you go
I hate to see you go
But the sunlight follows you right down the road


Just the thought of you makes me wanna cry
Just the thought of you makes me wanna cry
This deep well of tears has just run dry

You showed me just how easy love could be
You showed me just how silly love could be
But everything, you showed me gracefully

Everyone's gotta leave their love sometime
Everyone's gotta leave their love sometime
If not now, then at the end of your life-time

You′ll be waiting by my bed I know
You′ll be waiting by my bed I know
And your last little words will be i love you so


The shutter clicked, but the film did not go 'round
The shutter clicked, but the film did not go ′round
I touch these strings, but cannot touch the sound
