Short Film Lyrics

Ethan Gruska Short Film

[Verse 1]
The picture starts with no music on a residential road
The camera pans to focus on a dimly lit, white 1930's home
With a figure on the curtain at the shadow of a piano
From the street you faintly hear the song that he is barely singing out

[Chorus]
"When I was on my way down
On my way out
I was reaching
For you looked like an angel
You're like an angel
You are barely there"

[Verse 2]
The movie ends
Slow motion aerial shots of LA
It wasn't very good
At times the plot's so boring that you're sleeping
You never really care for any characters, at all
But as you leave you recognize the song that they're reprising for the end

[Chorus]
"When I was on my down
On my way out
I was reaching
For you looked like an angel
You're like an angel
You are barely there"
