Lyrics

Let's just pretend a long vacation--maybe stop just for the trees.
Run away. I'll take you with me. Let me put your mind at ease.
Oh, I know I've had a smile before, but never quite like this,
And though I know for now you have to be a friend...

Let's just pretend the sky was perfect as the light fell on your skin.
And your eyes were like that river. Oh, I think I've fallen in.
Yes, I know I've been alive before, but never quite like this,
And though I know for now you have to be a friend,
Let's just pretend.

Now I'm always dreaming in cerulean blue.
I'll drop a leaf into the stream and hope that it comes back to you.
Maybe someday, maybe soon--I really don't know when--
A day like this would never have to end.

Let's just pretend we write this story and you're always treated well.
And pretend a happy ending. Don't you know that book would sell?
Oh, I know I've been in love before, but never quite like this.
And though I know for now you have to be a friend,
Let's just pretend.
