I remember conversations
We were dancing up on tables
Taking pictures
When we had nowhere to post
You were laughing
I was crying
We were dancing, we were dying
Sometimes I don't know how we walked away
If I'm honest what I liked
Were the things we didn't know
Every morning, every night
I'll be beating down your door
Just to tell you what I'm thinking
But you'd already know
Screw this, I don't wanna let it go
So can we pretend?
That I'm twenty-two today
Dancing on the tables with you
Oh yeah
Can we pretend?
That we all end up okay
I just want to forget with you
Oh yeah
Can we pretend?
That we both like the president
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?
Can we pretend?
I remember what we wanted
What we'd never take for granted
How our daddy issues took us to LA
If I'm honest what I miss
Is not knowing what to say
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
So can we pretend?
That I'm twenty-two today
Dancing on the tables with you
Oh yeah
Can we pretend?
That we all end up okay
I just want to forget with you
Oh yeah
Can we pretend?
We both like the way it is
Hell yeah
Can we pretend?
That we like these fake-ass dudes
Oh yeah
Can we pretend?
'Cause honestly reality it bores me
Let's pretend
Oh let's make believe
Can we?
Can we pretend?
Can we pretend?
If I'm honest what I liked
Were the things we didn't know
Every morning, every night
I'll be beating down your door
Just to tell you what I'm thinking
But you'd already know
Screw this, I don't wanna let it go
So can we pretend?
That we both like the president ha ha
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?
Can we pretend?
Can we pretend?
Can we?
Let's make believe
Can we?
Can we?
Can we pretend?
'Cause honestly reality it bores me
Let's pretend
Oh let's make believe
Can we?
Can we pretend?
Honestly?
