When This Won't Be Pretend
I've been dreaming here for hours
About when everything gets better
Locked my plans all in my head
I'll be flying off to Paris
See the paintings at the Louvre
Then stuff my mouth with all their bread
I'll get lost with a dead battery
Meet someone and crash a party
We would dance our youth away
Instead I'm just wishing from the suburbs
Writing thoughts under the covers
Counting down until the day
When this won't be pretend
When this won't be pretend
I could read a million pages on my bedroom floor
But I keep craving, craving for more
When this won't be pretend
When this won't be pretend
Got so many places mapped out on my board
Guess I'll keep dreaming, dreaming, dreaming
When this won't be pretend
Oh it's been a busy year
I drowned in work to drown my fears
And now it's 2022
As I'm walking through the park
I think of how I got this far
Without a rush of deja vu
Because I've been hitting the same chords
I'm coping through all the same wars
Don't think I'll ever be the same
Till I lock the door and close my eyes
And I paint my future back to life
I'm counting til the day
When this won't be pretend
When this won't be pretend
I could read a million pages on my bedroom floor
But I keep craving, craving for more
When this won't be pretend
When this won't be pretend
Got so many places mapped out on my board
Guess I'll keep dreaming, dreaming, dreaming
When this won't be pretend
All bad things they must come to an end
One foot on the ground, one foot in the clouds again
Holding on to all my innocence
Magic in a jar, opened every now and then
So I'll see the oceans, I'll see the skies
I'll want to touch all the years flying by
Epic adventures, live ever after
Camera roll's filled up when I'm 85
When this won't be pretend
When this won't be pretend
I could read a million pages on my bedroom floor
But I keep craving, craving for more
When this won't be pretend
When this won't be pretend
Got so many places mapped out on my board
Guess I'll keep dreaming, dreaming, dreaming
When this won't be pretend
About when everything gets better
Locked my plans all in my head
I'll be flying off to Paris
See the paintings at the Louvre
Then stuff my mouth with all their bread
I'll get lost with a dead battery
Meet someone and crash a party
We would dance our youth away
Instead I'm just wishing from the suburbs
Writing thoughts under the covers
Counting down until the day
When this won't be pretend
When this won't be pretend
I could read a million pages on my bedroom floor
But I keep craving, craving for more
When this won't be pretend
When this won't be pretend
Got so many places mapped out on my board
Guess I'll keep dreaming, dreaming, dreaming
When this won't be pretend
Oh it's been a busy year
I drowned in work to drown my fears
And now it's 2022
As I'm walking through the park
I think of how I got this far
Without a rush of deja vu
Because I've been hitting the same chords
I'm coping through all the same wars
Don't think I'll ever be the same
Till I lock the door and close my eyes
And I paint my future back to life
I'm counting til the day
When this won't be pretend
When this won't be pretend
I could read a million pages on my bedroom floor
But I keep craving, craving for more
When this won't be pretend
When this won't be pretend
Got so many places mapped out on my board
Guess I'll keep dreaming, dreaming, dreaming
When this won't be pretend
All bad things they must come to an end
One foot on the ground, one foot in the clouds again
Holding on to all my innocence
Magic in a jar, opened every now and then
So I'll see the oceans, I'll see the skies
I'll want to touch all the years flying by
Epic adventures, live ever after
Camera roll's filled up when I'm 85
When this won't be pretend
When this won't be pretend
I could read a million pages on my bedroom floor
But I keep craving, craving for more
When this won't be pretend
When this won't be pretend
Got so many places mapped out on my board
Guess I'll keep dreaming, dreaming, dreaming
When this won't be pretend
