Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Girls night out at the movies
Grab some popcorn and candy
Yay it's the weekend
We're young and we're dreamin'
That could be us on the screen
Now the credits are rollin'
And it's got me thinkin'
If my life was a cinema
What would my story tell
Would the tickets sell
Were you in the frame
If my life was a cinema
Did you play the lead
Were you directing me
Did I bring you fame
If my life was a cinema, cinema, cinema
My life, my life, my life
Cinema, cinema, cinema
My life, my life, my life
Some days up like they're magic
Then some down like titanic
I can be frozen, tangled, and broken
But you showed me a whole new world
Now I'm stuck in wonderland
And it's got me thinkin'
If my life was a cinema
What would my story tell
Would the tickets sell
Were you in the frame
If my life was a cinema
Did you play the lead
Were you directing me
Did I bring you my fame
If my life was a cinema, cinema, cinema
My life, my life, my life
Cinema, cinema, cinema
My life, my life, my life
Woah, oh, oh
Ever have your life flash before your eyes like
Woah, oh, oh
Did you try to the line only thinkin bout I
I wanna make this one life count
Before the clock runs out
Red carpet got me thinkin bout what really matters now
You can have your flashing lights
All this crazy got me like
You can have it, you can keep it, don't need it, best believe that
Imma make your name be bright
Shining like stars at midnight
Roll it back, roll it back
Hit replay
You're the lead in my movie
If my life was a cinema
Were you in the frame
If my life was a cinema
Did I bring you fame
If my life was a cinema
What would my story tell
Would the tickets sell
Were you in the frame
If my life was a cinema
Did you play the lead
Were you directing me
Did I bring you fame
If my life was a cinema, cinema, cinema
My life, my life, my life
Cinema, cinema, cinema
My life, my life, my life
Cinema, cinema, cinema
My life, my life, my life




If my life was a cinema, cinema, cinema
My life, my life, my life
