can't we pretend

somewhere everybodies coming home

and now i'm lying in my old bedroom again on my own

listen to the cars passing outside

remember adam crashed his car into the tree but somehow he survived

then the next night you walked me home

we'd been drinking underage and you said do you think our parents know?

we hid a bottle in the trees

oh we couldn't find it later

guess the neighbour's getting drunk for free

no would couldn't find it later

guess the neighbour's getting drunk for me

somedays are quiet in my mind

it's not that i don't miss i've just lived this distance for some time

i still think about that september night

sitting on an empty pew

nobody will find us here

we were dreaming about where we both would go

you pointed out across the ocean

oh i wonder now if i had known

we hit that bottle in the trees

that we wouldn't find it later

guess the neighbour's getting drunk for free

no we wouldn't find it later

guess the neighbour's getting drunk on me

you waved at me from the front door

i told you i'd be home for christmas

i've been gone for six years more

you know i meant to call you back

get so busy in this city

you expect me to keep track

it's raining in new york too

that doesn't mean i'm any closer to you

if i can't be your friend

i don't need you to believe me

can't we still pretend?

if i can't be your friend

i don't need you to forgive me oh but can't we still pretend?

if i can't be your friend

i don't need you to believe me oh but can't we still pretend?

if i can't be your friend

i don't need you to forgive me

i don't need you to forgive me
