Pretend
Scott Porter and The Glory Dogs Lyrics

Say, won't you stay; we can talk about nothing at all
Inviting someone to stay just to enjoy their company without the pressure of conversation topics

Or sit here and make up the words as we go along
Enjoying improvisation and just going with the flow

The games, we could play Maybe silently write us a song Quietly shout from the roof that we don't belong
Suggesting fun activities to enjoy together, even if it means standing out from the crowd

They told me maybe she's crazy a little like you Everyone said you were nothing but trouble and All that I know is that I've never been here before And no, I'll never leave, if it's alright with you Dreaming of oceans while jumping in puddles and All of my life I pretend you where there by the door I don't need to pretend any more.
Expressing that despite hearing negative comments about someone, the artist is drawn to that person and doesn't want to leave, feeling like they've been waiting for them their whole life

Strange, oh so strange When it feels better being alone You accept there is nobody else and set it in stone And then you, came along Your reflection was so sad and strong You made me believe once again that I could be wrong.
Reflecting on how being alone can feel normal until someone new comes along and changes everything, making the artist see things differently

And it hurts, to know, there was somebody out there as strange and As beautiful, as you If I'd known sooner
Feeling regret for not having met someone like the person before sooner and recognizing their unique qualities

I don't need to pretend anymore
Realizing that the person they've been searching for is right in front of them and there's no need to pretend or search any longer
