Typecast

[Verse 1]
You and I, we were born to play these parts
And we play them so well
So well and often, sometimes you and I forget to know
Who we really are, it keeps me locked into the deal

[Pre-Chorus]
Binary stars, companions in the sky
Always in orbit but never to collide
We're just not going supernova anytime soon
We're just two stars out under the moon

[Chorus]
Typecast, we play losers
Who keep falling in love with the wrong ones
We're typecast, what a show
Why won't they cancel us?
We got a million more seasons to go
Oh no, oh yes
We've been typecast
Ooh

[Verse 2]
Every shadow I knew you underneath
Was just a studio trick, a spotlight on the stage
Black puddles to simulate the depth
To manipulate the young and naïve and hide your age

[Pre-Chorus]
We're worse than liars, we're paid to be fakes
Ghost lights in our living rooms for in-between matinees
Two lonely stars, someplace beyond the moon
Where the light is coming from but never receiving or getting any

[Chorus]
We're typecast, we play losers
Who keep falling in love with the wrong ones
We're typecast, what a show
Why won't they cancel us?
Oh, no
Typecast, we play losers
Who keep falling in love with the wrong ones
We're typecast, what a show
Why won't they cancel us?

[Outro]
We've been typecast
Ooh ooh, yeah
We've been typecast
