Game of Pretend

Don't know where you've been today
Some kind of trip real far away
Did you see the sun in your sky?
Have the wind in your sails?
Did a wolf run by?
Were you chasing its tail?

Loose ends shine brightly on your screen
And now we're here, caught in the between

Such a game of pretend
Got in over your head
You tried to live a million lives and forgot the one you had
Now you paint the town red
Sleep it off in her bed
I hope you can convince yourself it's the life you never had

Bittersweet yesterdays
Squeezing little lies into my lemonade
I gave you plenty of shots
To roll the dice
And every time you tried
You ended up throwing snake eyes

Loose ends tied nicely in a seam
And now we're here, caught in the between

Such a game of pretend
Got in over your head
You tried to live a million lives and forgot the one you had
Now you paint the town red
Sleep it off in her bed
I hope you can convince yourself it's the life you never had
I hope you can convince yourself it's the life you never had

Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ooh
Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ooh

Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ooh
Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ooh

Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ooh
Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ooh
