It's been a while since you have even said hello

And hello is just a word that could mean the world to me

What is the world but all we carry underneath?

It's been a while since you have said hello

And I just can't pretend that I don't notice

And I got a network web of spies to keep my tabs

They've been running covert missions so I can know just how you are

How you are is driving me to write again

I got a network web and they can't tell

If you've been keeping tabs, so maybe I'll pretend you do

What if tonight we make believe

We are the versions of ourselves we used to be?

What if the distance ain't that far

Between what we were and who we really are?

'Cause I got fifteen different versions hiding deep beneath my skin

And I wear all of them like everlasting scars

I'd be a legend if I could get out of bed

But even a legend needs some time to hide away and make some plans

So I've been planning on a rise and fall again

'Cause nothing is quite as legendary as

An unexpected shred of hope that becomes something more

What if tonight we make believe

We are the versions of ourselves we used to be?

What if the distance ain't that far

Between what we were and who we really are?

'Cause I got fifteen different versions hiding deep beneath my skin

And I wear all of them like everlasting scars

Even the hardest words can soften over time

All those words that felt like daggers seem to vanish from my mind

I might have vanished but I reappeared again

Now I carry with me every cut that taught me

There is always something more after the end

What if tonight we make believe

We are the versions of ourselves we used to be?

What if the distance ain't that far

Between what we were and who we really are?

'Cause I got fifteen different versions hiding deep beneath my skin

And I wear all of them like everlasting scars
