Can't We Pretend

[Verse 1] Somewhere everybodies coming home And now I'm lying in my old bedroom again on my own Listen to the cars passing outside Remember Adam crashed his car into the tree but somehow he survived Then the next night you walked me home We'd been drinking underage and you said do you think our parents know? [Chorus] We hid a bottle in the trees Oh we couldn't find it later Guess the neighbour's getting drunk for free No would couldn't find it later Guess the neighbour's getting drunk for me [Verse 2] Somedays are quiet in my mind It's not that I don't miss I've just lived this distance for some time I still think about that September night Sitting on an empty pew Nobody will find us here We were dreaming about where we both would go You pointed out across the ocean Oh I wonder now if I had known [Chorus] We hit that bottle in the trees That we wouldn't find it later Guess the neighbour's getting drunk for free No we wouldn't find it later Guess the neighbour's getting drunk on me [Verse 3] You waved at me from the front door I told you I'd be home for Christmas I've been gone for six years more You know I meant to call you back Get so busy in this city, you expect me to keep track It's raining in New York too That doesn't mean I'm any closer to you [Chorus] If I can't be your friend I don't need you to believe me, can't we still pretend? If I can't be your friend I don't need you to forgive me oh but can't we still pretend? If I can't be your friend I don't need you to believe me oh but can't we still pretend? If I can't be your friend I don't need you to forgive me, I don't need you to forgive me
