Pretend Lyrics - Language & Perspective - 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?
