Just Pretend

(album: The Best Imitation Of Myself: A Retrospective - 2011)

[Ben Kweller:]
Well I held you with our un-dry eyes
Happy years pass by
It's OK to cry

[The Bens:]
After all
In the end
Just pretend

[Ben Lee:]
Well it's sticks and stones and broken homes
That taught us how to smile

[The Bens:]
After all
In the end
Just pretend

[Ben Folds:]
There's a name that plays in my head
All day long
Like a song
She's with me every day

[The Bens:]
After all
In the end
Just pretend

Everyone needs
Everyone needs
Everyone needs

[Ben Kweller:]
If the sun can shine
You'll be just fine
Look into your mind
Where you're free

[The Bens:]
After all
In the end
Just pretend

[Ben Lee:]
'Cause we hurt each other once before
Let's not do that again

[The Bens:]
After all
In the end
Just pretend

[Ben Folds:]
And a voice so familiar
Wakes me up in the middle
And she thinks that I'm having a bad dream

[The Bens:]
After all
In the end
Just pretend

Everyone needs
Everyone needs
Everyone needs

[Ben Kweller:]
After all
It's the end
