If We Could Just Pretend

(Album: If We Could Just Pretend - 2015)

Where did you go?
What did you do
With all the time
You were too scared to move?

What is it like
To be by yourself
For three and a half years?
For roughly three and a half years?

If we could just pretend
That I went to college
And that is why you
You haven't seen me
I wanted to go
But not for this long
I overdid it
I overdid it

Why did you say
That I was one in a million?
'Cause I believed it, I thought
I had something that you
Were too scared to lose

So if we could just pretend
That I went to college
And traveled abroad
And did something different
Anything but
Just sitting at home
For three and a half years
Writing song after song after song

So what is it like
To be by yourself?
And not feel like you'll die
Around everyone else?
I thought I was one in a million
Well thanks for nothing

Yeah, thank you
Thank you
