Uh oh
There you go again talking cinematic
Yeah, you
You're charming
Got everybody star struck
I know how you always seem to go
For the obvious instead of me
But get a ticket and you'll see

If we were a movie
You'd be the right guy
And I'd be the best friend
That you fall in love with
In the end we'd be laughing
Watching the sunset
Fade to black, show the names
Play the happy song

Yeah, yeah
When you call me
I can hear it in your voice
Oh, sure
Wanna see me and tell me all about her
La la
I'll be acting through my tears
Guess you'll never know that I should win
An Oscar for this scene I'm in

If we were a movie
You'd be the right guy
And I'd be the best friend
That you fall in love with
In the end we'd be laughing
Watching the sunset
Fade to black, show the names
Play the happy song

Wish I could tell you there's a twist
Some kind of hero in disguise
And we're together
It's for real, no playing
Wish I could tell you there's a kiss
Like something more than in my mind
I see it could be amazing

If we were a movie
You'd be the right guy
And I'd be the best friend
That you fall in love with
In the end we'd be laughing
Watching the sunset
Fade to black, show the names
Play the happy song (x3)

    General Comment:If I could change the lyrics this is what I'd do:

    If we were a movie,
    You'd be the wrong guy,
    And she'd be the one that you'd fall in love with in the end.

    I know this is a Disney song, but I can relate. Recently my best friend took the guy I loved. Last year I never would have guessed she'd fall in love with him, and that he'd return the feelings. It hurt. I thought this guy was perfect for me, but in the end he wasn't. I like to think that if my life were a movie there wouldn't be a happy ending.

    General Comment:alright, this song is on t.v and all, but it still does have some meaning to it!
    it doesnt nessisarily need to be abuot jake ryan, but the song is written for him, anyone could beable to relate in a way i guess.


    the meaning to me is that:
    she is in love with this boy, jake ryan.[or atleast thinks it]
    he always talk to her like they are perfect, cinematic[MOVIE LIKE]
    but he has every other girl that way
    he talks to all of them like that.
    he always is the one to go for the obvious girl instead of her!
    [for example miley cyrus and nick jonas dating, like obvious starr dating]
    and she just wants him to see that they would be perfect together, that they would become cinematic[movie like]

    and yeah the hole song is her and how she wants her relationship to be cinematic with him.
    but the only true acting that is going on is her acting threw her tearssss.
    which is sad.


    hahaah alright i actullyyy dont even like this song so much, but it had meaning andd i just felt like typing this all up(:

    General Comment:In the TELEVISION show, duh. No dip, sherlock. The song's for Jake Ryan. However, there's a pretty obvious interpretation of this song; Girl likes good guy friend --> good guy friend is oblivious & dates other girls --> if situtation was a movie, Guy would fall in love with girl --> Happy ending fade to black.

    General Comment:This song is great
    and easy to relate to.
    about a girl who falls in love with her guy best friend, which is obviously hard when he talks about other girls
    "Oh sure!
    Wanna see me and tell me all about her"
    which has happened to me before.
    but she was saying if this would be like a movie, they would have a happy ending and they would end up together.
