Reruns

He plays the memories over and over, watching the reruns,
Still hasn't accepted the fact, that t.v.'s done,
Sometimes he thinks, that was the only one,
Until crashing back 2 reality, knowing, she's numb...

The pilot was picked up quickly, excitement of a new t.v. show,
The beginning was spectacular, until it died so slow...
Opportunities were endless at first, reviews were four stars,
Critics called it "perfect, different, and the actors were more sharp"
2nd season rolled around, they say it lost its touch,
The storylines were redundant, and the female lead kinda sucked...
She was over the show, she felt 2 suffocated,
She wanted to move 2 bigger roles, while the male lead was sacciated.
He felt his calling was t.v., she wanted more freedom,
The show was cancelled abruptly, chemistry? fans didn't see none.

The actor was never the same, could no longer find roles,
The actress flourished like a nourished flower, movies all over the world...
As the show became syndicated, reruns appeared all over,
The actor lived off those same shows, he never watched them sober.
He became disillusioned, living off the smiles and laughs,
While never acknowledging how the show was dark in the past.
Those reruns were his life, recorded daily on tivo,
Believing "If the show was still on, I know fans would see mo'"
But the actress, see, she never cared for those reruns,
Sporadically she watched em...but a t.v. star? she neve wanted to be one
She was a movie star now, television was a joke,
The male stopped acting for good, so he lived off that one t.v. show.
Now he's outta work, and those reruns r all he has,
The show wasn't that good, but he still wants it back...

He plays the memories over and over, watching the reruns,
Still hasn't accepted the fact, that t.v.'s done,
Sometimes he thinks, that was the only one,
Until crashing back 2 reality, knowing, she's numb...
