We Could Pretend

We could pretend that it's nothing
 Hide from this sufferin'
 We could do just enough
 and maybe we will
 We could face the other way
 Wait for another day
 Find new ways not to say it
 Do you think we will
 We could bottle it inside
 Keep the lid on good and tight
 But at some point in the night
 It's gonna start to spill
 What do we become
 If we hide and if we run
 Shadows on the sun
 Shadows on the sun
 Love's under the gun
 Love's under the gun
 Shadows on the sun
 Shadows on everyone
 Shadows on everyone
 We could make ourselves immune
 Play it safe and resume
 Singing ourselves the same old tune
 I wonder if we will
 We could choose not to use our eyes
 Lose ourselves in our disguise
 Know but pretend otherwise
 And wonder still
 What do we become
 If we hide and if we run
 Shadows on the sun
 Shadows on everyone
 Shadows on everyone
 We could wait and see if it'll pass
 Never tell and never ask
 Keep on hoping it won't last
 When we know it will
 We could hide in the night
 Never take flight
 Like a sparrow perching tight
 On the window sill
 We could try and deny it
 Keep on trying to fight it
 Hold the match and never light it
 Never feel the thrill
