"I'm just trying to go through life without looking like an idiot. It's not working out too well."
Last night I pretended that you didn't exist And, sadly, the world went unchanged But for one single second of one single hour In this closed little world, I felt no pain Last night I pretended that you didn't exist For at the time I wished it were true I imagined that you hadn't come into my life That I hadn't both loved and lost you Last night I pretended that you didn't exist And for a while I almost believed it I never heard your voice and I never kissed you So grand a scheme, I'm surprised I conceived it Last night I pretended that you didn't exist But in a moment that dream was shattered You called me up in the middle of the night And my safe pretend world was scattered

Last Night I Pretended You Didn't Exist
The breeze glides smoothly down my lungs Your soft hand engulfs mine Your thumb lazily strokes my bones as if strumming a tune This was my spring My room mirrors the mood as we stumble in It greets us with fogging windows My breath quickens as your love consumes me This was my summer You pull away from me as I only try to comfort Your distant eyes avoid mine at all cost The games we used to play no longer seem fun and carefree This was my autumn Pictures surround me of warmer, happier times When the summer still clung to the earth with pride Pictures at which, however, I refuse to look This was my winter Stiff greetings are met with stiffer coats The scratchy scarf covers the mouth I had kissed And as your deep voice promises to trip me once again This is my moving on

Let's get lost in a world of thought Then try to think our way back Reality is just a touch away But dreaming is something we lack You take my hand, I'll take yours We'll dream up a world of our own Where you and I are buyers and sellers I'll give you my love on a loan Let's laugh our way to happiness Let's bend until we break Let's fall until we hit the bottom If only for lovers' sake
