Lyrics

[Verse 1]
(Pretend that we're surrounded
Pretend I've got what it takes)
[Verse 2]
I forgot to call
Get a little lost, I'm sorry
I'm always on my phone
Looking down at stars
Before they form
Baby, in the light, they're golden
Or maybe they're blue and I just can't tell yet
[Verse 3]
I know
I'm so
Dramatic, yeah, I know
(Ooh)
I know
I'm so
Dramatic, yeah, I know
(Ooh)
[Verse 4]
So pretend that we're surrounded
And pretend I've got what it takes
To drive us out of town, love
Avoiding where the other bodies lay
'Cause I never wanna be like them
Never knowing if I'll keep you safe
Never loving like we got no brakes
[Verse 5]
Pretend that we're surrounded
By this paradise
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
By this paradise
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
By this paradise
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Pretend that we're surrounded
[Verse 6]
I refuse to be
Out on here on my own next summer
Home at the weekend, making no plans and
Don't forget to breathe
Living in the warmth is something
It won't be long before we're back there again
[Verse 7]
So pretend that we're surrounded
And pretend I've got what it takes
To drive us out of town, love
Avoiding where the other bodies lay
'Cause I never wanna be like them
Never knowing if I'll keep you safe
Never loving like we got no brakes
[Verse 8]
Pretend that we're surrounded
By this paradise
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
By this paradise
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
By this paradise
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Pretend that we're surrounded
Pretend I've got what it takes
[Verse 9]
Nothing here without you's any fun
Nothing here without you's any fun
