Let’s Pretend It’s Forever

[Verse 1] We move like we’ve already outrun the clock Laughing in the spaces where silence used to talk There’s a reckless kind of mercy in the way we collide Like we both agreed to forget we were ever terrified [Pre-Chorus] I know this is borrowed, I know it won’t stay But right now the night feels like it’s willing to break [Chorus] So let’s pretend it’s forever Let’s swear on the moment and lie to the dawn Let’s pretend we’re not clever Let’s act like this feeling was ever ours to keep long I don’t need the ending if it ruins the high Just stay in the light with me, don’t look away when I try To believe that forever could start with tonight [Verse 2] You look at me like I’m something you chose Not something you found when the world got too close And I feel it again — that dangerous spark The one that makes ordinary things feel like art [Pre-Chorus] I know we’re not built for the weight of this name But I’d rather burn bright than go back to the same [Chorus] So let’s pretend it’s forever Let’s swear on the moment and lie to the dawn Let’s pretend we’re not clever Let’s act like this feeling was ever ours to keep long I don’t need the ending if it ruins the high Just stay in the light with me, don’t look away when I try To believe that forever could start with tonight [Bridge] I know in the morning the spell might unwind We’ll both play it careful, we’ll both toe the line But right now I’m willing to lose what I know If it means I can feel something real before I go [Final Chorus] So let’s pretend it’s forever Even if the truth is already pulling away Let’s pretend we’re not clever Let’s burn like we mean it and mean it anyway I don’t need forever, I just need this spark This rare, reckless honesty lighting up the dark So let’s pretend it’s forever At least for tonight At least for tonight
