Pretend - Lights

Once in a while, I act like a child to feel like a kid again

It gets like a prison in the body I’m living in

'Cause everyone’s watching and quick to start talking

I’m losing my innocence

Wish I were a little girl, without the weight of the world

It would be nice to start over again

Before we were men

I’d give, I’d bend

Let’s play pretend

Remember the time we had soda for wine, and got by on gratitude?

The worst they could do to you was check your attitude

Yeah, when fights were for fun

We had water in guns

And a place we could call our own

How we lost hold of home, I guess I’ll never know

It would be nice to start over again

Before we were men

I’d give, I’d bend

Let’s play pretend

And when it’s the end, our lives will make sense

We’ll love, we’ll bend

Let’s play pretend

It’s not going to be long before we’re all gone

With nothing to show for them

Stop taking lives, come on, let’s all grow up again

It would be nice to start over again

Before we were men

I’d give, I’d bend

Let’s play pretend

And when it’s the end, our lives will make sense

We’ll love, we’ll bend

Let’s play pretend
