Pretenders

Whenever you decide to let go

Call me, let me know

I'll hold you while you break

It's been 20 days and 13 hours

Since we declared that our

Love was up for trade

I woke up

Sunday sad

Went through it all

The things we said

And settled

Dragged my feet

Cross Chinatown

Thought I saw it was

I need to tell you

I guess that we'll never, have coffee to catch up

But sometimes I dial your, number and hang up

Just to pretend you're there

Tomorrow I might leave, yeah I might go

To Spain or Mexico

If I only took the time

I expect you not to come but to be there

As the ghost of all I fear

Since you're no longer mine

I get drunk

Barely out of bed

Have conversations

In my head

Some with you

But its all talk

I'll never leave

I'm bound to stay

This town's my only tissue

So if I start crying, it's just cause I'm tired

I have pills for my sleeping, but I haven't tried them

I'd rather pretend you're here

My pal Joey with Reed and Frank

They're part of the spirit, when my head goes blank

The couch and the TV and the bathroom sink

The kitchen walls, are dead I think

I remind myself, that it's cleaner now

That every inch, round hair is mine

And that sooner or later, I'll breath somehow

I guess that we'll never, have coffee to catch up

But sometimes I dial your, number and hang up
