Play Dumb

(álbum: Powerlines - 2023)

Driving to the city takes me about fifty minutes
On the garden state, so I drive fast
I want you, I don't hide it, it's not shallow in the slightest
I know your body like I know your past

This room is like an hourglass, counting down the time we have
Slipping through my fingers like the years are made of sand
I can see it in your eyes, you've already made up your mind

So, I play dumb
Like I'm not watching everything we built
Coming undone
I'd do anything to feel like you're still
Stupid in love, but I'm smart enough
To know that it'll never be the way that it was
So, I play dumb

A certain kind of silence doesn't take a
Rocket scientist to know what's really going on
If you're not gonna fight it, can you really
Blame me for trying to hold on to you 'til you're gone?

This room is like an hourglass, counting down the time we have

So, I play dumb
Like I'm not watching everything we built
Coming undone
I'd do anything to feel like you're still
Stupid in love, but I'm smart enough
To know that it'll never be the way that it was
So, I play dumb

I'm close to the end but I'm not ready yet
Yeah, it's so obvious, but if ignorance is bliss
I play dumb, I play dumb
Like we're stupid in love, but I'm smart enough
To know that it'll never be the way that it was
So, I play dumb
