Pretend
by Paper Route

Album: Real Emotion

Intro
I know that you know the feeling
I know that we're giving in
I know that you know the feeling

Verse 1
I woke up with my head in the clouds
Asleep with you on my mind
I guess I need to figure this out
Before I see you tonight

Pre-Chorus
I'll hide my favorite scars with the shirt and the tie
You'll let your hair fall down while you're saving my life
I'll leave my bourbon nerves for your body of wine
If I come over again

Chorus
We can pretend
We're wanting different things and then
We can pretend
We'll never end up here, end up here again

Verse 2
You found out I was broken at heart
And you read me Audre Lorde
When each word from your lips made a mark
I didn't care anymore

Pre-Chorus
I play my favorite songs when I'm driving you home
You let your hair fall down when you know we're alone
It's such a careful dance when your feet have been cold
The only way to defend

Chorus
We can pretend
We're wanting different things and then
We can pretend
We'll never end up here, end up here again

Bridge
Oh we can pretend all day but we know that it's true
And then pretend to see from the different view
I've got a whole routine I've been playing for you
Over and over again

Outro
We can pretend
We can pretend
I know that you know the feeling
I know that we're giving in
I know that you know the feeling
I know that we're giving in
I know that you know the feeling
I know that we're giving in
I know that you know the feeling
We can pretend
