Dror Kessler - Pretend
When I was just shy of 17The days were short, the nights were kings
We stayed awake to sing a song
We never thought we could do wrong
Oh yea, that's when I found lust
In the back room of a store
Our bodies pressed on to the floor
Until we lost all sense of time
That's when you told me you were mine
Oh yea, that's when I found out
And now I waken from a dream
Where I keep asking you've been
I wrote a letter to you
"My lovely girl, Why have you been untrue?"
You're bursting at the seams
Tripping over our best dreams
I'm warning you
But my mind's already set
So I pretend
Then I became 21
I flew a plane, I held a gun
I met a girl, oh so sweet
She took my love and went to sleep
Oh yea, that's when I found pain
On the back of a magazine
In moving pictures on a screen
I've built a world so long and wide
When she'd call, that's where I'd hide
Oh yea, that's when I found love
It's a story about a man
Trying to be the best he can
Every now and then
He understands, the meaning of his life
Locked up in some bedroom
See him howling at the moon
He's warning you
But his mind's already set
So he pretends
Now most folks think its a sin
To live alone, to be seen
To steal away the time
To never ask nobody for a dime
But I'm happy to recede
Not ever to succeed
I'm warning you
'Cause my mind's already set
I won't pretend
