Stop Pretending

If for just one night
We could stop pretending
That we're never ending
'Cause soon I'll have to go

My biggest fear in life is
That the universe works
I guess to be blessed
We have to be cursed first

Well, obviously waiting
On honesty hurts worse
Than arguing over
How much the dirt's worth

If that type of magic
When creative spurts burst
Can turn to a flat line
From hospitalized bird chirps

Would you line up with me
To be the first cursed
To prove to this nervous earth
The universe works

For just one night
Could we just stop pretending
That we're never ending
'Cause soon I'll have to go

These days are coming
To an end my friend
So can we just stop pretending
I'm here to stay

All right, all right the universe works
Had enough with the crisis
I'm sure that all our heads
Have been stuck in vice grips

When advice gets repetitive
That's because it is
So we should stop pretending
We haven't heard it before this

So who ever you share life
With whether it be
Your lover, parent
Grandparent, sister or brother

Let them know
To make sure they knew
That they were appreciated
For taking on the challenge of you

For just one night
Could we just stop pretending
That we're never ending
'Cause soon I'll have to go

These days are coming
To an end my friend
So can we just stop pretending
I'm here to stay

Try, try
Get to the other side
Rise, rise
Watch your halo grow in size

I, I hope to God
That I will never be given
Another personality
That I'll have to resign

For just one night
Could we just stop pretending
That we're never ending
'Cause soon I'll have to go

'Cause you didn't cherish
All those times we had
You find yourself feeling sad
'Cause I've gone away, let's go

For just one night
Could we just stop pretending
That we're never ending
'Cause soon I'll have to go

These days are coming
To an end my friend
So can we just stop pretending
I'm here to stay

For just one night
Could we just stop pretending
That we're never ending
'Cause soon I'll have to go

These days are coming
To an end my friend
So can we just stop pretending
I'm here to stay, let's go

Try, try
Get to the other side
Rise, rise
Watch your halo grow in size

I, I hope to God
That I will never be given
Another personality
That I'll have to resign
