"The Girl You Pretended To Be" lyrics
"The Girl You Pretended To Be"
A little too smooth
You made all the right moves
But you didn't fool me
I knew anyway
The plot in your head
To stay one step ahead
Of the girl you pretended to be
How you got in her body
While she was away
I'll admit that part remains a mystery
There's one thing I know
It's I'd much rather go
With the girl you pretended to be
Down to the detail you had her spot on
You thought you knew how the game could be won
I thought I heard a variation in tone
You said the wrong thing and your cover was blown
You're just as pretty
And you've got the skills
I know it's a difficult role to play
You may be smart
But you don't have a heart
Like the girl you pretended to be
Down to the detail you had her spot on
You thought you knew how the game could be won
I thought I heard a variation in tone
You said the wrong thing and your cover was blown
Now that I've caught you
You've nothing to say
I've proven your guilt undeniably
If there's one thing I'll say
It's I'd much rather stay
With the girl you pretended to be
All I'm asking from you
Could you please turn into
The girl you pretended to be?

Jimmy Eat World - "Love Never" Love ain't never been your friend
Love never gonna hear what you're demanding
Love ain't some magical thing
Love never gonna be the way you're dreaming
It's gonna seem so far
It's gonna feel so...
Incubus - "Into The Summer" Shouldn't have let you go
Into the summer alone
Pretty and built to spill
A cup ready to overflow
Why do I piss and moan
Over the ashes of us?
Guess I am smitten still
Don't leave me here on my own...
Guster - "Overexcited" I'm halfway home, at the pub on the corner of the street
I see kids from school, but I stare down at my feet
Sports on TV
They scream for victory
A few blocks down, there's Dawn, she's got spinach...
Pete Yorn - "Calm Down" All is well in my home town
People sleeping in the street light
If there's a memory at all
I wish I knew then what I know now
Calm down
You know I'm telling the truth
And when I look at you
You know...
The Smithereens - "Downbound Train" I had a job, I had a girl
Had something going, mister, in this world
I got laid off down at the yard
Our love went bad, times got hard
Now I work down at the car wash
Where all it ever does is rain...
