|
Let's pretend were not needy. |
|
Let's pretend our hearts still beat. |
|
Clumsy enough to fall for anything. |
|
Let's pretend we fall in love tonight, |
|
Below the neon blue. |
|
We'll stumble on our words. |
|
We'll spill our guts on creaking bar stools, |
|
Low lives hiding in dives there's no feeling in drinking, sleeping with strangers. |
|
Ghosts passing through bedrooms unaware, |
|
A faint reflection on the barback's mirror, "Please dont be a stranger to me. Who are you if you're alone?" |
|
A face I never knew whispering, |
|
You're no good at pretending. |
|
This frog will never change anything. |
|
You wish I was a fairy tale. |
|
All my plays have tragic endings, |
|
That scolding sun is bound to come up eventually. |
|
A haunting voice blows in through the window. |
|
So who is it that whispers in your ear? |
|
Just pretend that you're in love, |
|
There's no feeling floating over beds, |
|
A needy pleading apparition |
|
Crying, "Who am I if I'm alone? Let's pretend that we don't need anything anymore from anyone. I hardly exist at all. I don't want to feel anything anymore let's just pretend, we'll live happily ever after." |
