"Pretending" lyrics
"Pretending"
Dawn breaks the day
I crossed a frozen lake
I saw an eagle fly away
But I could feel my heart descending
I went off by myself
Cause there was no one else
It didn't go real well
And the lonely nights were never-ending
Fool's gold
My love
Marching like a high school band down Main Street
I'm going back in time, my paper valentine
When I saw your face
And made your heart all aglow
Before I took it too slow
Well just a slight-of-hand
I'm crying wolf again
I should've known right then
That you were only pretending
I heard the shushing pines, they called
I heard them whisper your name, I thought
I know I sound insane
It's all the alone time I've been spending
Fool's gold, just a slight-of-hand
My love, I'm crying wolf again
Parading like a high school marching band, down Main Street
I'm going back in time, my paper valentine
When I saw your face and made your heart all aglow
Did I take it to...
Another day is done
Another setting sun
Shadows dance to flame
Across the fortress I'm defending
Another train of thought
Another world apart
Ride the iron horse I caught
Into a story never-ending
Fool's gold, just a slight-of-hand
My love, I'm crying wolf again
Parading like a high school marching band down Main Street
I'm going back in time, my paper valentine
When I saw your face and made your heart all aglow
Nobody needs to know
I'm going back in time, my secret valentine
When I saw your face and made your heart all aglow
Nobody needs to know, nobody needs to know
When I saw your face and made your heart all aglow
Nobody needs to know

Toad The Wet Sprocket - "So Long Sunny" Buttoned up your jacket and tightened up your collar
With a pocket full of pennies and a fistful of dollars
No forwarding phone number change of address
Just a wave and a smile to the ones you loved...
Nickel Creek - "Beauty And The Mess" blue waters blue eyes color me
if any could come this close I'd let them see
get it out again and play 'em one more song
it's all they really want and who's to say that's wrong
ain't that what...
Dispatch - "Steeples" I heard a story about a boy, who was swept off the deck
the sweeping tide swept the sea over his neck
but it did not end there, the boy began to swim
and dared to the sea that dared to invade him...
The Clarks - "Fast Moving Cars" Lonely faces all along the way
Broken city all dressed up in gray
In the rain outside the restaurant
I make money but I still feel broke
I start drinking and I want a smoke
Doing doughnuts in...
Counting Crows - "Amie" I can see why you think you belong to me
I never tried to make you think
Or let you see one thing for yourself
And now you're off with someone else and I'm alone
You see I thought I might keep you...
