Pretend

don't leave me now, we haven't even met yet
don't even talk, i'd be glad to guess your name
it's just two of us here, or maybe just a few more
but it's just you and me, baby, if you wanna play this game

just pretend that you know me baby
i'll treat you like you really do
just pretend that you know me baby
i can't pull myself back from you
baby, just pretend

we can deja vu backwards, baby, make it seem like a trip
that i could later take you on, like i might've before
and if they ask what you're doing here, look over at me, baby
then they're gonna know now what never happened for sure

just pretend that you know me baby
i'll treat you like you really do
just pretend that you know me baby
i can't pull my self back from you
baby, just pretend

i've been thinking about you now
for fifteen minutes and change
i feel like i've known you forever, baby
you can read my mind, i don't have to explain why it
feels like a strong bond, i know you feel it, too
let's tell the world what we're feeling now
baby, you'll know what to do

just pretend that you know me baby
i'll treat you like you really do
just pretend that you know me baby
i think i'm falling in like with you
baby, just pretend

when the years have gone by and
we're still clicking like bubble wrap
we can clink our glasses still being entwined
and if find that
my eyes look distant like you never really knew me
i'll tell you what do, then, if you're inclined

just pretend that you know me baby
i'll treat you like you really do
just pretend that you know me baby
i can't pull myself back from
baby, just pretend

baby, just pretend
