let's pretend my eyes are a frame of glassy water-
so clear it's like you never knew it existed-
an array of tropical surprises terrifying you
and every time you kept swimming deeper and deeper
i wondered why.

let's pretend my eyes are a carnival ride-
so vivid and bright-
it's hard to look into-
because every time i saw you-
my eyes turned that way-
and every time you kept looking at me
i wondered why.

let's pretend my eyes are revolvers-
shooting out little shards of metal into your heart-
because every time grey light enters my eyes and
rain soaks my black heart-
i remember the times you did look at me
and the times you did swim deeper into my soul.

and let's pretend like i never knew you-
like you never meant a thing-
because every time you look into her eyes
you'll be wondering why you aren't looking into mine.
let's pretend okay?
