The Pretender

[Intro]

I recall the moment

Though I can't recall the day

Every other song to say

Okay

[Verse 1]

Wait because

Another lifetime of words

We'll be forgotten, burned

By the time you read this letter

Sing because

Oh, but the scent of your past

Will be forgotten, gone

By the time you reach the pretender

Oh, my berries again

Will be razed and be burned

By the time you reach the pretender

[Bridge]

If I'm not there to remind ourselves

I'll send a friend with a plan

I only wanted you to be obvious

I only need you to let go

[Verse 2]

Wait because

Another lifetime of words

We'll be forgotten, burned

By the time you read this letter

All the sins of our past

Will be forgotten, gone

By the time you reach the pretender

The coffee's gone and the rooster's rich

I only call if I could work

I only want you to be obvious

I only need you to let go

[Verse 3]

We don't need the shelter

And we barely feel the rain

We've been soaked to long too care

Or complain

We don't need the morning

And we barely need our names

I won't call the cause of comfort

Oh no, I'm not afraid

Ahh

Ahh

Ahh
