Pretend - Bad Suns

Sometimes I wish that we could all forget

Your figure fades into a silhouette

But I hear you breathing

I’m done believing.

We’re painting portraits but the canvas is blank

If this life is a gift then who do we pay?

You’re desperate for the answer

It eats at you like cancer.

Tonight won’t ever end;

can we pretend, pretend, pretend?

We’ll paint the walls instead and I’ll pretend, pretend, pretend again.

Your head is filled with unproven thoughts

Twisting theories into bigger knots

And I feel you dreaming

You’re done believing.

Tried to avoid this but I’m weak to the bone

My inner compass points me to the unknown

But I still keep running faster

Yea, someday I’ll find the answer.

Tonight won’t ever end;

can we pretend, pretend, pretend?

We’ll paint the walls instead and I’ll pretend, pretend, pretend again.

Ooh, pretend, pretend, pretend

We’ll paint the walls instead, and I’ll pretend, pretend, pretend again.

I wanted to know you

Though I still don’t know myself

I’ve got so much to show you

Won’t you show me the way?

(yea)

Tonight won’t ever end;

can we pretend, pretend, pretend?

I don’t want this to end so I’ll pretend, pretend, pretend again

Ooh, pretend, pretend, pretend

Tonight won’t ever end;

can we pretend, pretend, pretend instead?

Lights turned low

Lights turned low cause I don’t wanna see this go So can I just pretend, pretend, pretend instead?
