Lets pretend,
Lets sit down, plug in the earphones, and pretend
Lets listen to some sad heartbreaking music
Lets let the lyrics sink
Let them sink then pretend to be sick
Pretend to be in love
Pretend to have lost
Lost all we had
To have been hurt hard
Bruised and torn
Battered and out-worn
Lets listen to some Rose Cousins,
Yes, lets listen and sing along
Lets let our minds wander along
To the beautiful long lost days
Days we create in our minds
Days we wish we had
Days we’ve only heard
But for now, lets pretend shall we
Into the wee hours of the day
Lets act as though we can feel our hearts shatter
As if we have countless words to mutter
To our lover
One we never can claim to have owned…
To our lavish life
One we have never lived
To our lovely friends
Ones who plunged us into the deep ends
To our peaceful loving families
Those that are mastered with chaos and lies.
But hey,
For now
For tonight,
We shall listen to Birdy
We shall listen and put on a show
All in a row
Beat after beat
Song after song.
