Fairytales Tell Tales Flatsound

Let's pretend we’re not needy
Let's pretend our hearts still beat
Let's pretend we fall in love tonight
Clumsy enough to fall for anything
We'll stumble on our words
We'll spill our guts on creaking bar stools
Below the neon blue

Low lives hiding in dives
There's no feeling in drinking
And sleeping with strangers
Ghosts passing through bedrooms unaware
A faint reflection on the barback's mirror
A face i never knew whispering
"please don’t be a stranger to me
Who are you if you're alone?"

You're no good at pretending
All my plays have tragic endings
You wish i was a fairytale
This frog will never change anything
Just pretend that you're in love
That scolding sun is bound to come up eventually
So who is it that whispers in your ear?
A haunting voice blows in through the window
There's no feeling floating over beds
A needy pleading apparition…
