Just Pretend Lyrics
I think this song is about a guy supporting a girl, and I'm assuming they're dating although they could just be friends. They have been together for quite a while, and they grow with each other and become more comfortable around each other ("have the years pass by/ It's ok to cry"). She knows him very well and doesn't want anything bad in his life... she wakes him up when she thinks he's having a bad dream... she just wants him to be happy. I'm not so sure what the "After all/ In the end/ Just pretend" is all about though... any ideas?
The sound reminds me of an old Crosby Stills Nash. I love it. I think they're describing a way of coping with life--pretending. "Sticks and stones and broken homes ...taught us how to smile". Things suck, but you can always pretend and everything is ok.
I agree with josephthelevite on this....life sucks sometimes and pretending gets us through. These two are helping each other get by.....
I love this song! :)
the way that the Bens wrote this is that Ben Folds was playing the song on acoustic guitar and came up with the refrain and then they each went into different rooms and came up with their own individual lines to sing along with the song.
I think this was written to be an inspirational piece. And it does exactly that. It makes me happy. :]

the way spider6333 explains this (that they all wrote a verse) makes sense because the verses all seem pretty seperate and don't connect. That doesn't mean its a bad song though. Its a great song!
