But would you move like that if I'd never touch your body again
You wanna give me something to miss before it all ends
You'll tell me pretty lies like lullabies
Won't you say goodnight 'fore you say goodbye
You're not over me, but could you just pretend
Could you just pretend
I like talking to you
'Bout the meaning of cobwebs and things so taboo
Like the way that I grew up or my favorite tattoo
If your father could hear you'd be locked in your room
He'll be twisting your wrist 'til you turn twenty two
And what's stuck in my head
The things that I wrote out that I should've said
My oldest ambitions what I'm doing instead
You lie to your parents like I lie in your bed
Trust I'm behind you let's just look ahead
But would you move like that if I'd never touch your body again
You wanna give me something to miss before it all ends
You'll tell me pretty lies like lullabies
Won't you say goodnight 'fore you say goodbye
You're not over me, but could you just pretend
You've got a boy who writes you rock 'n roll
He's got a heavy heart but it's made of gold
And he swears he loves you even though
He knows, it hurts, he's in too deep
With promises he'd never keep
You're Orpheus to Eurydice
And he knows he shouldn't beg
But he's on his knees
Please
Could you just pretend
I miss my best friend
Lying on a rooftop
Gunning for her nonstop
Think I need a break but
I'll write this whole chapter under her name
Please understand that I love her just the same
As the first night we met
As the kiss in my bed
Stars poking through the cover
Of the night overhead
As the way that she first left
My heart stays in her chest
In Hell I am her guest
Am I one of the rest
Am I doomed to be Eurydice
My heart aches when she looks at me
I'll follow where she leads
Just take my hand blindly
She'll play us both out now
How beautiful the background
The orange yellow sky
As the smoke and ash rise
I'll always defend her
She's my favorite pretender
