[Instrumental Solo Intro] [Verse 1] I wake before the sun, tracing paths I’ll never find Walking cities in my head, streets that don’t exist in time I draw the lines between the stars, pretend I can touch them all Every step feels endless, every rise a destined fall [Chorus] Let me pretend That I can touch the sky Let me pretend, You'll never say goodbye I know it’s all for nothing, but Let me pretend Let me stay in this fragile dream Let me believe what can't be seen Let me call this moment home Even if it leaves me standing here alone I know it won’t last forever, but Let me pretend [Instrumental Solo] [Verse 2] I tell myself I’m moving mountains, but they crumble in my hand I speak of oceans I will cross, but they’re only made of sand I paint colors in the sky, but they all just fade to gray I reach for tomorrow, but it slips so far away [Chorus] Let me pretend That I can touch the sky Let me pretend, You'll never say goodbye I know it’s all for nothing, but Let me pretend Let me stay in this fragile dream Let me believe what can't be seen Let me call this moment home Even if it leaves me standing here alone I know it won’t last forever, but Let me pretend [Instrumental Solo] [Verse 3] I hold my breath in empty rooms, watching shadows on the wall I trace the outlines of a life that I'll never have at all Every step I take feels small, every path I trace a lie But I’ll keep walking anyway, just to feel like I’m alive [Instrumental Solo] [Bridge] If I could stop the world from turning, I would stay in this room for days Close my eyes and keep on dreaming, Hide inside this fragile haze I'd hold the corners of my mind Watch them stretch and bend Let the world drift out of sight Pretend it never has to end [Instrumental Solo] [Chorus] Let me pretend That I can touch the sky Let me pretend, You'll never say goodbye I know it’s all for nothing, but Let me pretend Let me stay in this fragile dream Let me believe what can't be seen Let me call this moment home Even if it leaves me standing here alone I know it won’t last forever, but Let me pretend Let me pretend
