"Let's Go to the Movies" Lyrics
🕑 Added 2024-05-08 20:00:02 +0000 UTCHey there!
I wanted to share some lyrics with you guys today, so I chose some from a song that I wrote for my mom. This also kind of reads like a poem to me, so I thought it'd be a fun thing to share.
My mom means an incredible amount to me, and one year I decided to write this for her as a birthday gift. Movies have always been something that we connected deeply with, or more-so, the activity of watching movies together. When I was a kid, if either of us had a terrible day, we would always suggest going to the movies (you know, back when it wasn't craaazy expensive to go) to make us feel better... and it always did the trick. Don't get me wrong, I'd be nowhere without the constant emotional support that she's given me over the years as my mom too, but this was always such a cute, special part of our bond that I didn't have with anyone else quite the same.
I hope you enjoy reading it. What was the first movie you ever saw in a theater? Funny and inappropriately enough, it may have been Lord of the Rings for me.

Lyrics:
(Verse)
It hits me now, a familiar smell
Some kinda number of a fancy Chanel
I jump in the car and let out a sigh,
Wonder if I’ll ever get life right
Then you say, “let’s go to the movies”
(Verse)
You’ve had this boyfriend the past couple months
He seemed nice, he would suffice, but he turned out a bust
You sob over dinner, it’s pizza again
But it ain’t too shabby when you’re with your best friend
Then I say, “let’s go to the movies”
(Alt. Verse/ B Section)
The perils of life seem to lift when I see you again
In red seats, with sweet treats, forget just the wreck that I’ve been
The show begins
(Verse)
Came home from school with a face full of tears
You held me tight, said “I’ll take it from here”
With power and grace, you’d scold all the fools
Thought “Who knew I’d ever have a mum that’s so cool”
Then we say, “let’s go to the movies”

I think my first movie in the cinema was Spider-Man 2002 with Tobey Maguire. Also the first movie set I saw in person was The Last Samurai it was filmed partially in my home town.
