Well just pretend you're blind and dumb
We all act out roles from our own lives
And baby, you're no exception
Have I ever told you how beautiful you look
With all the lights turned low (or off)
I hate to stop this argument, we're drowning
But every dam is flooding over the top
Chorus:
So when you lean in close
Just pretend it's me you kiss
Cause I'm not really there
And when our bodies sweat
Under moonlight gleaming wet
I'm not really there, no, there
The aching is apparent with every move I make
But it's not this I'm aching for
And every person sometime in their life
Settles for less while dreaming of more
Have I ever told you that I'm somewhere else?
I ran far away, just like a rabbit
And when you least expect it I'll come back
Pop out of a top hat and call it magic
Chorus:
So when you lean in close
Just pretend it's me you kiss
Cause I'm not really there
And when our bodies sweat
Under moonlight gleaming wet
I'm not really there, no, there
Just pretend it's me you kiss
Cause I'm not really there
I'm not really there
I'm not really there
