Pretending to Sleep

I like what you do
with the lights turned way down low
I heard you call out my name
What's running through your mind
As I lay beside you trying to decide if I love you
Or if I just love the game?

I would like to say that I'm falling in love
I do know for sure that I want you
Our story seems destined for the silver screen
But girl I wonder bout what's in your dreams
If you're like me
If after all this life has taught you
you're suspicious of the meant-to-be
It's just that I can't help but hope
I'm not the only one pretending to sleep

I like how you laugh
Let your smile's departure leave an afterimage
Of the jokes you don't tell--
The thoughts you don't say
But when your mystery fades
And the smile no longer blinds
Will the woman who's behind it be my home
Or just a stop on the way?

I would like to say that I'm falling in love
I do know for sure that I want you
Our story seems destined for the silver screen
But girl I wonder bout what's in your dreams
If you're like me
If after all this life has taught you
You're suspicious of the meant-to-be
It's just that I can't help but hope
I'm not the only one who's playing for keeps
And I can't help but hope
I'm not the only one pretending to sleep

ah-ah-ah-ahh
