Highlights Songtext

von Van Hunt

The only thing you ever wanted to be was a movie star
The only role you ever wanted to play is the person you are, are, are
You made a cameo appearance in the backseat of my mother's car
But I didn't know that it was to be a very small part
And it hit me kind of hard

Baby, did I mean anything to you, did I just play the fool?
In my heart I guess I always knew you had more to prove
Did I mean anything to you, how much acting did you do, tell me?
In my heart I guess I always knew
I'd never be more than one among a few

Highlights, highlights, highlights
A scene from your life
Highlights, highlights, highlights
Just a good time

Old lovers turned critics curse at you on the silver screen
You tell 'em, "I don't give a damn what you say
Long as you're talkin' 'bout me"
All the pretty girls around you cloud your sexuality
We've only been apart for less than a week
But you make leaving me look easy

Did I mean anything to you, did I just play the fool?
In my heart I guess I always knew you had more to prove
Did I mean anything to you, how much acting did you do, tell me?
In my heart I guess I always knew
I'd never be more than one among a few

Highlights, highlights, highlights
A scene from your life
Highlights, highlights, highlights
Just a good time

Hey, hey, hey
Your life
Hey, hey, hey
Good time

Years spent fuckin' your sister for your father's affection
Left you confused and your performance lacks direction
So many unanswered questions

Did I mean anything to you, did I just play the fool?
In my heart I guess I always knew you had more to prove, yes I mean
Did I mean anything to you, how much acting did you do, tell me?
In my heart I guess I always knew
I'd never be more than one among a few

Highlights, highlights, highlights
A scene from your life
Highlights, highlights, highlights
Just a good time

Oh I'm missing you baby
Did I mean anything to you?
Missing you baby, missing you, baby missing you
I'm missing you, oh yeah, you baby, you baby oh yeah

Good time
Missing you, baby
Missing you, baby
