[Chorus]
So can we pretend that I'm 22 today?
Dancin' on the tables with you, oh yeah
Can we pretend that we all end up okay?
I just wanna forget with you, oh yeah
Can we pretend that we both like the president? Oh yeah
Can we pretend that I really like your shoes? Hell yeah
Can we pretend? 'Cause honestly, reality, it bores me
Let's pretend, oh, let's make believe
Can we, can we pretend? (Oh)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Can we pretend? (Oh)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
[Pre-Chorus 2]
When you'd tell me what you're thinking
But I'd already know
Screw this, I don't wanna let it go
Oh yeah
[Chorus]
So can we pretend that I'm 22 today?
Dancin' on the tables with you, oh yeah
Can we pretend? (Oh)
(Oh, oh, oh)
[Chorus]
I just wanna forget with you, oh yeah
Can we pretend that we both like the president? Oh yeah
Can we pretend that I really like your shoes? Hell yeah
Can we pretend? 'Cause honestly, reality, it bores me
Let's pretend, oh, let's make believe
Can we, can we pretend? (Oh)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Can we pretend? (Oh)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
[Verse 2]
I remember what we wanted (Oh)
What we'd never take for granted
How our daddy issues took us to LA (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
[Pre-Chorus 2]
If I'm honest, what I miss
Is not knowin' what to say oh
And the feeling of your lips
And it haunts me every day
When you'd tell me what you're thinking
But I'd already know
Screw this, I don't wanna let it go
Oh yeah
[Chorus]
So can we pretend? (Can we pretend, can we pretend?)
[Pre-Chorus 1]
If I'm honest what I liked
Were the things we didn't know
Every morning, every night
I'd be beating down your door
Just to tell you what I'm thinking
But you already know
Screw this, I don't wanna let it go
[Chorus]
Can we pretend that we both like the president?
Can we pretend that you like my fake-ass shoes? Oh yeah
Can we pretend? Cause honestly reality, it bores me
Let's pretend, oh, let's make believe
Can we, can we pretend?
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
[Outro]
We all end up, all end up okay
Can we pretend?
We all end up, all end up okay
Oh oh oh
We all, can we, let's make believe, we all end up, all end up okay (oh)
We all end up, all end up okay
We all end up, all end up okay
We all end up, all end up okay
We all end up, all end up okay
So can we pretend that I'm 22 today?
Dancin' on the tables with you, oh yeah
Can we pretend that we all end up okay?
I just wanna forget with you, oh yeah
Can we pretend that we both like the president? Oh yeah
Can we pretend that I really like your shoes? Hell yeah
Can we pretend? 'Cause honestly, reality, it bores me
Let's pretend, oh, let's make believe
Can we, can we pretend? (Oh)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Can we pretend? (Oh)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
[Pre-Chorus 2]
When you'd tell me what you're thinking
But I'd already know
Screw this, I don't wanna let it go
Oh yeah
