“You Called My Bluff” (Verse 1) No secret gardens for us // We’re more at home on the bus // Tons of people, stops to make // Metaphors to burn, cookies to bake // (Pre-Chorus) No make-believe romance // No singing to a dog’s bark // No teaching AI to pick its nose // No kissing in the dark // (Chorus) I pretended I was loving // But you called my bluff // We live in a real world // That’s plenty good for us // (Verse 2) We’ve no need to write love notes // No need to fantasize what’s real // We know better than to make believe // Or question how we feel // (Bridge) Face the dark horizon // Admit that’s all we need // Be what we are this moment // And see where this leads // (Pre-Chorus) No make-believe romance // No singing to a dog’s bark // No teaching AI to pick its nose // No kissing in the dark // (Chorus / fade) We live in a real world // That’s plenty good for us // I pretended I was leaving // But you called my bluff // ⸻
