[Verse 1] Sometimes I wish that we could all forget Your figure fades into a silhouette But I hear you breathing I'm done believing [Pre-Chorus 1] We're painting portraits but the canvas is blank If this life is a gift then who do we thank? You're desperate for the answer It eats at you like cancer [Chorus] Tonight won't ever end Can we pretend, pretend, pretend? We'll paint the walls instead And I'll pretend, pretend, pretend again [Verse 2] Your head is filled with unproven thoughts Twisting theories into bigger knots And I feel you dreaming You're done believing [Pre-Chorus 2] Tried to avoid this, but I'm weak to the bone My inner compa** points me to the unknown But I still keep running faster Yeah, someday I'll find the answer [Chorus] Tonight won't ever end Can we pretend, pretend, pretend? We'll paint the walls instead And I'll pretend, pretend, pretend again [Post-Chorus] (Ooh, ooh, ooh) Pretend, pretend, pretend We'll paint the walls instead And I'll pretend, pretend, pretend again [Bridge] I wanted to know you But I still don't know myself I've got so much to show you Won't you show me the way? [Chorus] Tonight won't ever end Can we pretend, pretend, pretend? I don't want this to end So I'll pretend, pretend, pretend again [Post-Chorus] (Ooh, ooh, ooh) Pretend, pretend, pretend Tonight will never end Can we pretend, pretend, pretend instead? (Ooh, ooh, ooh) (Ooh, ahh, oh) [Outro] Lights turned low, lights turned low Cause I don't want to see this go So can I just pretend, pretend, pretend instead?
