[ Featuring Ross Lynch ]
[Chorus]
You've gotta play the scene up on the silver screen
You gotta live the dream; the "lights, camera, action" thing
The water's technicolor blue and the waves don't miss a cue
Not a hair is out of place; every line's a perfect take
You've gotta play the scene up on the silver screen
[Verse 1]
Whoa, it's better in the story
Always glad, but never wordy; you got the part
Whoa, it's better when you wake up
Minty breath and perfect makeup; you're a work of art
And no one ever breaks your heart
[Chorus]
You've gotta play the scene up on the silver screen
No matter where you've been, good times are zooming in
You can dream and no one sleeps; say a bad word and it bleeps
You can have and eat your cake; never need a bathroom break
You've gotta play the scene up on the silver screen
[Verse 2]
Whoa, it's better on location
Cause it feels like a vacation, super fun
Whoa, bring the feature to the people
If it's good, they'll make a sequel when we're done
The surf is up under the sun
[Bridge]
Hey!
The good guy saves the day; the bad guys run away
Everybody dances when the music starts to play
The cats are always cool; never have to go to school
Get ready for your closeup; it's the happy-ending rule
You gotta play the scene
[Chorus]
You've gotta play the scene up on the silver screen
You gotta live the dream; the "lights, camera, action" thing
Cause it's better in a movie; when you're mad or if it's groovy
Where true love is always true; when you met him, then you knew
You've gotta play the scene
Up on the silver screen
