Bad Suns - Pretend Lyrics






Sometimes I wish that we could all forget
Your figure fades into a silhouette
But I hear you breathing
I'm done believing.

We're painting portraits but the canvas is blank
If this life is a gift then who do we pay?
You're desperate for the answer
It eats at you like cancer.

Tonight won't ever end; can we pretend, pretend, pretend?
We'll paint the walls instead and I'll pretend, pretend, pretend again.

Your head is filled with unproven thoughts
Twisting theories into bigger knots
And I feel you dreaming
You're done believing.

Tried to avoid this but I'm weak to the bone
My inner compass points me to the unknown
But I still keep running faster
Yea, someday I'll find the answer.

Tonight won't ever end; can we pretend, pretend, pretend?
We'll paint the walls instead and I'll pretend, pretend, pretend again.
Ooh, pretend, pretend, pretend
We'll paint the walls instead, and I'll pretend, pretend, pretend again.

I wanted to know you
Though I still don't know myself
I've got so much to show you
Won't you show me the way? (yea)

Tonight won't ever end; can we pretend, pretend, pretend?
I don't want this to end so I'll pretend, pretend, pretend again
Ooh, pretend, pretend, pretend
Tonight won't ever end; can we pretend, pretend, pretend instead?

Lights turned low
Lights turned low cause I don't wanna see this go
So can I just pretend, pretend, pretend instead?

    And you showed me that you care

    Tonight won't ever end if we pretend, pretend, pretend
    I don't want this to end so I'll pretend, pretend, pretend instead
    Ooh, pretend, pretend, pretend
    No, tonight will never end if we pretend, pretend, pretend

    Let's turn it up
    Let's turn it up cause I don't want to see this go
    So let's pretend, pretend, pretend instead

    Since there is no lyric video out for this song, here is the lyrics :)

    Sometimes I wish that we could all forget
    Your figure fades into a silhouette

    You're desperate for the answer

    Tonight won't ever end; can we pretend, pretend, pretend?
    We'll paint the walls instead and I'll pretend, pretend, pretend again

    Your head is filled with unproven thoughts

    And I feel you dreaming
    You're done believing

    Tried to avoid this but I'm weak to the bone

    So can I just pretend, pretend, pretend instead?

    A.... A....

    Alexis Alexander I'm loving you right now, thank you a lot!

    A.... A....

    @Inkblop No problem :)

  15. J.... C....

    this is great however I like dancing on quicksand a little bit more

  16. J.... C....

    Every song that I listen to I feel that I've heard it before, it's really strange to because I have never heard it. I really enjoy it, this band is great, I'm glad to hear a good new band, that is very rare nowadays.

  17. R.... R....

    oh yea, fuck yes, dope.

  18. A.... M....

    Each track is better than the previous one. Cant seem to figure a favourite!

  19. M.... K....

    definitely the best on the album. take my love and run with a close second

  20. C.... L....

    Beginning reminds me of the beach

    C.... L....

    The beginning reminds me of a song on the neighbourhood's first album

  21. D.... D....

    It's the funniest thing as to how I found this band. I was with a friend at a smoothie place and I heard this song playing and I fell in love immediately with them.

  22. J.... L....

    I am absolutely obsessed with these guys right now!

  23. C.... S....

    it's a serious battle between my favorite song,
    Pretend- Bad Suns
    Salt - Bad Suns       My second favorite song : its a battle between everything else by Bad Suns

    C.... S....

    Mine was between Matthew James, Twenty years and Sleep Paralysis...

    C.... S....

    Fancy Lions my battle is probably 'we move like the ocean' and 'cardiac arrest' and 'pretend'

  24. J.... E....

    LOVE them

  25. D.... K....

    the way the lead guitar and bass work together in the breakdown part is perfection.

    D.... K....

    That is one of my favorite things in this song! It's just so perfect together

  26. d.... ....

    The way he sings reminds me of Elvis for some reason and I'm in love
