Pretend (acoustic) Lyrics
Boy:
It was late out, but you were awake
You asked for a cigarette, then asked me to stay
The scent that you’re waftin’ dirty thoughts to my brain
And your smile drove me insane
It was then that we got lost in a dream
That when we walk there was some distance between
All cuz, you keep runnin’
You keep runnin’ away
Girl:
It was rainin’ when you told me to leave
You were complainin’ I was out of your league
The night it was rainin’ I was feeling fatigue
So I nodded off to sleep
It was then I saw the light from the sun
When I woke up, I knew the magic was gone
All cuz, you keep runnin’
You keep runnin’ away
Boy:
So can we live this moment all over again
I know we’re not lovers, but we could pretend
We could sail across the world, in the sheets of your bed
Oh
Together:
So can we live this moment all over again
I know we’re not lovers, but we could pretend
We could sail across the world, in the sheets of your bed
Oh
Boy:
So can we live this moment all over again
I know we’re not lovers, but we could pretend
We could sail across the world, in the sheets of your bed
Oh
Girl in background:
Can we live in this moment
Together:
We could just pretend
It was late out, but you were awake
You asked for a cigarette, then asked me to stay
The scent that you’re waftin’ dirty thoughts to my brain
And your smile drove me insane
That when we walk there was some distance between
All cuz, you keep runnin’
You keep runnin’ away
It was rainin’ when you told me to leave
You were complainin’ I was out of your league
The night it was rainin’ I was feeling fatigue
So I nodded off to sleep
When I woke up, I knew the magic was gone
All cuz, you keep runnin’
You keep runnin’ away
So can we live this moment all over again
I know we’re not lovers, but we could pretend
We could sail across the world, in the sheets of your bed
Oh
So can we live this moment all over again
I know we’re not lovers, but we could pretend
We could sail across the world, in the sheets of your bed
Oh
So can we live this moment all over again
I know we’re not lovers, but we could pretend
We could sail across the world, in the sheets of your bed
Oh
Can we live in this moment
We could just pretend

A few corrections: It should be 'the scent that you wore sent dirty thoughts to my brain', 'when we awoke there was some distance between'. I think the song is about two people who dream about being with each other, in fact, i'm certain that's what it is. Beautiful song.
