"Pretend" lyrics

I know we're headed for the open road
Don't know where to go
We've got our separate ways in the same direction
Getting nowhere slow

We saw the end was coming, the credits rolling in
A few hundred miles back
Oh, but our horizon tends to be deceiving
You never quite know where it's at

Baby, can we just pretend
We're not telling lies, and this ain't ending?
No talk, no time, no goodbyes
Nothing left of expectations
Just you and me, impulsive creations
With an alibi

If a moment is precious for its brevity
This one's good as gold
It's a compromise of little white lies
The truth remains untold

Baby, can we just pretend
We're not telling lies, and this ain't ending?
No talk, no time, no goodbyes
Nothing left of expectations
Just you and me, impulsive creations
With an alibi

Do what you will, but don't go, darling
What story ends before it's started?
Final words, and we'll be on our way, yeah
One last thing, my dear departed
Save tomorrow for the brokenhearted
Aw, don't let it break today
Don't let it break today
Don't let it break today
Don't let it break today
No, not today

Oh, yeah, oh
Hey, yeah, oh
Hey, yeah, oh
Hey, yeah, oh
