Pretending
(Ah, yeah)
(Ah, yeah)
Seems like people only call back, back when they need something (ah yeah)
Why'd you shut the windows down now?
Let the 70 degrees come in, yeah (ah yeah)
I been driving 16 hours, still can't get, get, get away (ah yeah)
I could try to drink it all better, now
Wouldn't be my first time, hey (ah yeah)
I got more time than a minute left, left
But I love to watch it waste (ah yeah)
Sit high on the riptide
Made a quick right, dive down to the waves (ah yeah)
Left a couple bags back at the door just didn't want to bring them all in
Went back for another trip and it's stacked up again
I just want to know how long
I gotta get things wrong before I get 'em right
And I don't want to sing the same old song
Just saying how I finally feel better now
'Cause it's alright
Alright not to be alright, alright not to be alright
Alright not to be alright, even if the sun don't shine
Alright not to be alright, alright not to be alright
And if it's just one of those days
Pretending ain't never gon' change nothing, no (ah yeah)
I think I look for admiration in wrong places
I think that every line I write I don't ever say shit
Don't even know myself on a first name basis
I hate the road life so I stay in the basement
Hope they find a replacement for me
'Cause there's somewhere else I got to be
Feel like I've seen it all, this quarter-century arc
Please world, what you got for me?
I just want to know how long
I gotta get things wrong before I get 'em right
And I don't want to sing the same old song
Just saying how I finally feel better now
'Cause it's alright
Alright not to be alright, alright not to be alright
Alright not to be alright, even if the sun don't shine
Alright not to be alright, alright not to be alright
And if it's just one of those days
Pretending ain't never gon' change nothing
Alright not to be alright, alright not to be alright
Alright not to be alright, even if the sun don't shine
Alright not to be alright, alright not to be alright
Put on your happy face, that'll surely make it go away
Put on your happy face, even if it's just pretending now
Put on your happy face, that'll surely make it go away
Put on your happy face, even if it's just pretending now
Put on your happy face, that'll surely make it go away
Put on your happy face, even if it's just pretending now
Put on your happy face, that'll surely make it go away
Put on your happy face, even if it's just pretending now
Put on your happy face, that'll surely make it go away
Put on your happy face, even if it's just pretending now

Put on your happy face, even if it's just pretending now
