Pretending Lyrics

Seems like people only call back, back

When they need something, ah yeah

Why'd you shut the windows down now?

Let the 70 degrees come in, ah yeah

I been driving 16 hours, still can't get, get, get away, ah yeah

I could try to drink it all better, now wouldn't be my first time, hey, ah yeah

I got more time than a minute left, left

But I love to watch it waste

Sit high on the riptide, made a quick right, dive down to the waves

Left a couple bags back at the door just didn't want to bring them all in

Went back for another trip and it's stacked up again

I just want to know how long

I gotta get things wrong before I get 'em right

And I don't want to sing the same old song

Just saying how I finally feel better now

'Cuz it's alright

Alright not to be alright, Alright not to be alright

Alright not to be alright, even if the sun don't shine

Alright not to be alright, Alright not to be alright

and if it's just one of those days, pretending ain't never gon' change nothing

I think I look for admiration in wrong places

I think that every line I write I don't ever say shit

Don't even know myself on a first name basis

I hate the road life so I stay in the basement

Hope they find a replacement for me

'Cuz there's somewhere else I got to be

Feel like I've seen it all, this quarter century arc

please world, what you got for me?

I just want to know how long

I gotta get things wrong before I get 'em right

And I don't want to sing the same old song

Just saying how I finally feel better now

'Cuz it's alright

Alright not to be alright, Alright not to be alright

Alright not to be alright, even if the sun don't shine

Alright not to be alright, Alright not to be alright

and if it's just one of those days, pretending ain't never gon' change nothing

Alright not to be alright, Alright not to be alright

Alright not to be alright, even if the sun don't shine

Alright not to be alright, Alright not to be alright

Put on your happy face, that'll surely make it go away

Put on your happy face, even if it's just pretending now

Put on your happy face, that'll surely make it go away

Put on your happy face, even if it's just pretending now

Put on your happy face, that'll surely make it go away

Put on your happy face, even if it's just pretending now
