LET’S PRETEND

Let’s pretend there’s only you and I left in this world
Let’s pretend that I am not so nervous around girls
Let’s pretend you like me or even know that I exist
Let’s pretend I have charms you can’t resist

Let’s play a game that neither one of us has played before
Let’s play a game without rules and where no one’s keeping score
Let’s play a game where we both win and then we’ll play again
So I’ll close my eyes and count to ten and then…

Chorus 1
Ready or not, here I come and I’m running like the wind
And in this game the only aim is to let the other player win
And if our hearts get skinned & bruised we’ll go back to being friends
And say it was a game of Let’s Pretend

Let’s talk about a future where we’re allowed to grow
Let’s talk about the other world where we would love to go
Let’s talk about escaping these choking childish chains
Let’s close our eyes and make a wish and then…

Chorus 2
Ready or not, here we come and we’re flying on the wind
And in this game the only aim is to let the other player win
And if our hearts get skinned & bruised we’ll lick our wounds and then
We’ll say it was a game of Let’s Pretend
