What's So Hard About Pretending? (demo)

from Somewhere Back There [single] by Spelling Reform

/

lyrics

“Make it a double” — that’s something I’ve never said to anyone. I’m up in the morning with the best of them. Who are these people who can go forever? I’m tied up tight with moss in my sweater.

I’m never throwing my things away … OK, I could come around. What’s so hard about pretending?

I’d like to have a panic attack in the stairwell but I can’t — the inside’s locked for security reasons. I’m always three drinks away from a good time but three drinks in, I’m hating every season.

I’m always making it about me … OK, this one’s actually about me. What’s so hard about pretending?

I have made believe that everybody thinks of me.

Every once in a while I think, “OK, maybe it’s time to stop thinking.” What’s so hard about pretending?
