lyrics

It’s been so well kept that we didn’t even see it
Sensed it, though we could never feel it or make sense of this

This lack of reflection on ourselves, it may appear shallow
Looking from another perspective

Maybe hesitation says we’ll never know cliché

Let’s immerse ourselves in make-believe stories, let’s pretend that they’re reality
We’re not in love, that’s a distant dream
But we could be, we could be

The lights seem over-amplified so we lay in darkness
In which an idea can inspire hours of thought

We put this feeling down to no more than attraction
It still did not cross our minds

Maybe hesitation says we’ll never know cliché

Let’s immerse ourselves in make-believe stories, let’s pretend that they’re reality
We’re not in love, that’s a distant dream
But we could be, we could be
Let’s immerse ourselves in make-believe stories, let’s pretend that they’re reality
What I know, you don’t believe
But you’ve missed me, you’ve missed me

Have you ever noticed
When we say goodbye
We touch a little longer
Close our eyes a little longer

The things I hear you say
The way we act
How we close our eyes a little longer
When we part, and walk away
The way we act
How we close our eyes a little longer

Let’s immerse ourselves in make-believe stories, let’s pretend that they’re reality
