Oh, I'd like to take you to the National Film Board in the afternoon I'd spend all my dollars just to watch the movie screens with you We could stay there all day 'cause we don't have nothing else to do All this summer lovin' has got me in a place I can't handle, ooh What if we stayed way too late and then got locked in overnight? Would we keep on watching movie screens until the next day's morning light? Would you be my last action hero And jump into the fibres of the screen? And when all of the bad guys came, Would you be runnin' to save me? And we don't have the courage to act this out now Oh, I need some time to learn my lines And we don't have the courage to act this out now Oh, I need some time, I need some time Take me to your apartment and show me your father's old guitars Tell me how he died and all the ways he lives on in your heart And tell me why your mother never did forgive him, all that time Tell me why you're tellin' me all these things you tend to keep inside And we don't have the courage to act this out now Oh, I need some time to learn my lines And we don't have the courage to act this out now Oh, I need some time, I need some time Oh, I need some time, I need some time Oh, I need some time, I need some time
