Lyrics

PRETEND

[Verse 1: Kota the Friend]

Sunday morning, sun is shining on that California time

If you calling, I'll be riding, as long as you by my side

Out the office, leave a message, turn that racket up

Number one of lessons, count your blessings on the regular

[Refrain: Kota the Friend]

Back of the Lyft on the way to the beach and I feel good

Got me a crib for the week in the hills and I feel good

Been down bad, got back on my feet and I'm still good

I've been low-key, they still shook

They got no shot, they still look, yeah

[Chorus: pluko]

They pretend like it's all just a game

What is happening? I just don't wanna change

But it's all we'll ever know

Things don't feel like they did beforе

All we'll ever know (Oh, woah, woah)

[Verse 2: Kota the Friend]

Fill you up with my lovе

So good but so bad

Make me feel like I'm young

Making peace with my past

Take the heat for your love

Break a piece of my last

Take the breath from my lungs

Cross the sea for that ass

You and me, and I'm glad, yeah

[Refrain: Kota the Friend]

Back of the Lyft on the way to the beach and I feel good

Got me a crib for the week in the hills and I feel good

Been down bad, got back on my feet and I'm still good

I've been low-key, they still shook

They got no shot, they still look, yeah

[Bridge: Kota the Friend]

Baby, just roll down your window

Trust me, it could all be simple

I'm on this rollercoaster with you

Love you, 'cause you feel like home

Let's just make this thing official

[Chorus: pluko]

They pretend like it's all just a game

What is happening? I just don't wanna change

But it's all we'll ever know

Things don't feel like they did before

All we'll ever know (Oh, woah, woah)

[Outro: pluko]

They pretend like it's all just a game

What is happening? I just don't wanna change

It's all I'll ever know

Like they did before

All I'll ever know

All I'll ever know
