lyrics

We like to pretend we’re somewhere else
We end up in bed with our best friends
Cuz we’re tired of being alone
We’re so tired of being alone
I’ve got a bad habit, I don’t stop when I should stop
And I say everything I promised myself I wouldn’t say

You say I take it all away
But I will take and I will take
And I will leave and you will stay
So come on let’s go until we’re nowhere
Yeah we’ll go and we will go
But we’ll never be really very far from home

We like to pretend we’re anywhere else
We fall in and out of love with all our friends
And we’ve never felt so alone
But we know we’re far from alone
I’ve got a bad habit, I spread myself too thin
And the things that I do don’t mean anything to you

I wish you would take it all away
But you take so much more than I take
And you leave when I wish you would stay
And you know I’m fine with staying right here
Cuz when we go, we just go
And my heart aches to be home

We kept on falling so hard, that we fell into each other
But I know that you’re not strong enough to hold me up forever
We kept on falling so hard, that we fell into each other
Please don’t rely on me to hold you up forever
We kept on falling so hard, that we fell into each other
And it feels so good to lean on you that I wish I could forever

You say I take it all away
But I will take and I will take
And I will leave you and you will stay
SO come on let’s go until we’re nowhere
Yeah we’ll go and we will go
But we’ll never be really far from home
We like to pretend we’re somewhere else
