1964 -

Let’s play pretend, we’ll dress up in the clothes they wore

and everyone will talk about us

Let’s see what lengths we’ll go to justify this thing

that everyone will write about

I will love you like it’s 1964

Let’s just pretend we never got divorced, my dear

and everyone’s together now

Let’s say the children weren’t used as messengers

for counter-threats from lawyers

And I will love you like it’s 1984

And everyone forgot it ended bad

And everyone forgot they were so Sad About Us

I will love you like it’s 1984

Let’s play pretend, we’ll dress up in the clothes they wore

and everyone will talk about us

Let’s see what lengths we’ll go to justify this thing

that everyone will write about

I will love you like it’s 1964
