"Pretend So Real" lyrics

"Pretend So Real"

You're picking up lunch
Next door to where I live
And you don't stop in
Is there someone
And I'm not him

I'm peeking out of
My window and I
See you in your car
And sure, what we are
From afar, is hard to make out

And I know how this sounds
But if you squint on
Maybe see beyond
The fog of doubt

I might put it in the window for
When you're driving by my condo
Yeah, well in any event though
It's evident, so, that you are...
And you are...

Killing it in every dimension
I've giving up on the question
I'm betting on modern medicine
You're letting them know
You're not messing around

I'm face to the ground
You're breaking new ground
Can I take you out again?

So yeah, I made you a cake
Ok, it might have been a
Mistake— self played—
But you lit up a candle
On the mantle of my face

So please
Could I put it in the window for
When you're rolling past my condo
Oh, I know I take it to crescendo
My pretend's so real
My pretend so real

I'm face to the ground
You're breaking new ground
Can I take you out again?

There's no limit to my fantasy
I live for possibility
I'm a figment in your memory
To me you're a melody

I'm abandoned in my rubber sheets
You're a fan of what I want to be
That young man forever glued to me
At least you used to be

Maybe I'll put it in the window
For when you're going by my condo
Yeah, I know I take it to crescendo
My pretend's so real
My pretend's so real

I'm face to the ground
You're breaking new ground
Can I take you out again?
Yeah, my pretend so real

I'm face to the ground
You're breaking new ground
Can I take you out again?
Yeah, my pretend so real
