Great Pretenders

The more you learn, the less you feel

Of the world drifting in youth

Lost in your paradise

Could've changed the world

But time floats away with the morning haze

Maybe I'll burn

The things I've been holding onto

All on a Sunday night

Just for what it's worth,

Nothing lasts forevermore anyways

What if I turn

Just like we have always come through

Get out and roll the dice

To find what it's worth

Just to tell you that

We'll make better days

Let's pretend we know it won't be the same

(Tonight you got the power)

So we can learn to believe in life again

(You know you got the power)

Let's pretend it's gonna be all okay

(Tonight you got the power)

Tomorrow's getting close more beautiful than we comprehend

We overlooked

What overtook everything we won and drew?

Out of the paradise

Did we change the world?

Now it feels the truth is oceans away

Just like I should

I miss you like the man of the moon

Baby don't think twice

We can't change the world

But I say, as if it was the last living day

We'll make better days

Let's pretend we know we won't be the same

(Tonight you got the power)

So we can learn to believe in us again

(You know you got the power)

Let's pretend it's gonna be all okay

(Tonight you got the power)

Tomorrow's getting close more beautiful than we comprehend

You feel crumbled

Cos you think too complicated

And when the night falls

You think too simple

And you dreadfully hate it

When you can't control

But every night, I feel the same

And that's okay

Baby it's okay

Let's pretend we know it won't be the same

And I say

Don't look back

The echoes will fade in time

Let's pretend we know we won't be the same

(Tonight you got the power)

So we can learn to believe in us again

(You know you got the power)

Let's pretend it's gonna be all okay

(Tonight you got the power)

Tomorrow's getting close more beautiful than we comprehend

So baby it's okay
