If We Could Just Pretend

Where did you go? And what did you do?
With all that time? You too scared to move?
What is it like to be by yourselfFor three and a half years?
For roughly three and a half years?

If we could just pretend that I went to college
And that is why you, you haven′t seen me
I wanted to go, but not for this long
I overdid it
I overdid it

Why did you say that I was one in a million?
Because I believed it
I thought I had something that you
Were too scared to lose

So if we could just pretend that I went to college
And travelled abroad, and did something different
Anything but just sitting at home
For three and a half years
Writing song, after song, after song

So what is it like to be by yourself
And not feel like you'll die around everyone else?
I thought I was one in a million
Well, thanks for nothing

Thank you
Thank you
