Can't We Pretend

Summer everybody's coming home And I'm lying in my old bedroom again on my own Listen to the car's passing outside Member Adam crashed his car into the tree But somehow he survived Then the next night you walked me home We'd been drinkin' underage and You said do you think our parents know We hid a bottle in the trees Oh, we couldn't find it later Guess the neighbour's getting drunk for free No, we couldn't find it later Guess the neighbour's getting drunk on me Some days are quiet in my mind It's not that l don't miss you I have just lived this distance for some time I still think about that September night Sitting on an empty pier Nobody will find us here We were dreaming about where we both would go You pointed out across the ocean Oh, l wonder now if I had known When we hid that bottle in the trees That we wouldn't find it later Guess the neighbour's getting drunk for free No, we wouldn't find it later Guess the neighbour's getting drunk on me You waved at me from the front door I told you I'd be home for Christmas I've been gone for 6 years more You know I meant to call you back It gets so busy in this city You expect me to keep track It's raining in New York too That doesn't mean I'm any closer to you If I can't be your friend I don't need you to believe me, oh But can't we still pretend If I can't be your friend I don't need you to forgive me, oh But can't we still pretend If I can't be your friend I don't need you to believe me, oh But can't we still pretend If I can't be your friend I don't need you to forgive me I don't need you to forgive me...
