We Can Pretend Songtext
von Elizabeth & the Catapult

Two little sparrows
Queens of the underworld
Mythical sunk eyes [?]
Running through the grasses
As fast as, as fast as we can
Over the meadow
Holding hands as we roll
I could stay there forever
Hearing my voice [?] singing go, go, go, go

There goes a particle
There goes a rainbow
There goes a schoolhouse
Where my love was born
And my youth was sold

Rock up my elbow
At the bottom of the hill
Oh, we′ll cry 'till the nightfall
And you pick me up
And you carry me home


Take me back to grandmother′s garden
(We can pretend, we can pretend)
You and me and the tangerine sunset
(We can pretend, we can pretend)
The little lost things, lies under the bed
(We can pretend, we can pretend)
All we are now is what we choose to remember
Over and over again

Cowboys and Indians
Unspoken languages
Unbroken promises
And the smell of gun [?] on a summer's night

And our bones know how to grow
And our hearts, how to wake
There's a poem of a dead man
Until you wake me up on the very next day

Take me back to grandmother′s garden
(We can pretend, we can pretend)
You and me and the tangerine sunset
(We can pretend, we can pretend)
The little lost things, lies under the bed
(We can pretend, we can pretend)
All we are now is what we choose to remember
Over and over again


Nothing′s ever gonna be just like it was back then
Thought I would forget but now I'm not so sure
Every year I′m digging deeper, deeper in the sand
Never seen, I find exactly what I'm looking for
Nothing′s ever gonna be just like it was back then
Thought I would forget but now I'm not so sure (now I′m not so sure)
Every year I'm digging deeper, deeper in the sand (in the sand)
Never seen, I find exactly what I'm looking for

Take me back to grandmother′s garden
(We can pretend, we can pretend)
You and me and a tangerine sunset
(We can pretend, we can pretend)
The little lost things, lies under the bed
(We can pretend, we can pretend)
All we are now is what we choose to remember
Over and over again

Over and over, over and over
Over and over, over and over again
Over and over, over and over
Over and over, over and over again
Over and over, over and over
Over and over, over and over again
Over and over, over and over
Over and over, over and over again...
