lyrics

I want to play pretend
I want to be a little girl again
Trust in every word you say
Not argue just for argument's sake
I want to play pretend
I'll be Bonnie you'll be Clyde
A bloody love story splattered across time
We won't care who's on our trail
We'll hold each other till we're old and frail
I'll be Bonnie you'll be Clyde

Do you think it would be alright for you
To put up with my shit for one more night
Or maybe even more, if you can
If it's just too much I understand

Do you want to swim with me
Float on our backs in a starry sea
If you find you just can't float
I'll still hold your hand when you're a ghost
Do you want to swim with me
I only want your touch
Do you think it would be too much
To say I want to shed my skin
To feel you for the first time again
I only want your touch

Do you think it would be alright for you
To put up with my shit for one more night
Or maybe even more, if you can
If it's just too much I understand

I want to play pretend
