Pretend

(album: Along The Way - 2023)

Let's pretend we never broke up
Pretend we didn't do it all wrong
Let's act as if we didn't quit
And when it got hard, we held on
Let's pretend you gave it your all
Pretend I didn't need more
And that we're still sitting in that countryside kitchen
Red dog sleeping on the floor

Guess I still got some feelings
Honey, do you feel like dreamin'?

Of that first summer night in the back of your truck
Kissing in the moonlight, stars above
Dancing in a field with the radio on
The moment we found our favorite song
Burning like a fire that would never go out
Heartache wasn't something we were thinking about
That forever kinda feeling that we found back then
It was love, it wasn't pretend

Let's pretend you opened up
Pretend I didn't shut down
'Cause I can't pretend that it don't hurt
And that I don't miss you now

And that first summer night in the back of your truck
Kissing in the moonlight, stars above
Dancing in a field with the radio on
The moment we found our favorite song
Burning like a fire that would never go out
Heartache wasn't something we were thinking about
That forever kinda feeling that we found back then
It was love, it wasn't pretend

(Ooh)
Ooh, yeah
(Ooh)

Do you feel like playing along?
Like going back before you were gone

To that first summer night in the back of your truck
Kissing in the moonlight, stars above
Dancing in a field with the radio on
The moment we found our favorite song
Burning like a fire that would never go out
Heartache wasn't something we were thinking about
That forever kinda feeling that we found back then
It was love, it wasn't pretend

Oh, oh
It was love

It was love, it was love back then
It was love, it was love back then
It was love, it was love back then
It was love
It was love, it was love back then
It was love, it was love back then
It was love, it was love back then
It was love
