Stay with me,
Hold me
While time weakens the wall between us and the rest of the world
The wall we put up when things get too much
When things get too real
When it hits us - just how fucked up things really are
That our planet is steaming away like a dumpling
That our forests are dissolving as if rained on by acid
That our sandy shorelines are being drowned
That our lives are dictated by those who don't what it is to live
That we never get a say, even though we scream and scream and scream
For a moment longer, let's pretend we have names, that we're more than numbers
let's pretend we have futures of green grass, blue skies, and warm beds
let's pretend we'll have six children, four dogs, two bunnies and a cat
Let's pretend that when we wake tomorrow things will be better
We'll be able to start over, try this thing called 'life' again
Let's pretend that hope will no longer only be for those who can buy it
Let's pretend, and pretend and pretend
We only have a little longer, this time for just you and me
Then you must return to the factory
And I must return to the shop
We will return to our lives, to the way things really are
You will tell me to be strong
I will tell you I love you
Then tomorrow we will meet again, just as we did today, same time, same place
Our haven
Our place to pretend
