Record Tracklist

  1. Let’s Pretend -:-- / -:--

Let’s pretend that we are pixie queens in a hidden blue-green land
There is no fear; we dance and sing until the sun lies down
To mark the end of the day
Dinnertime, and then for sleep

Let’s pretend our beds are ships set out on fearful rolling seas
But we’ll be safe, ‘cause nothing can destroy our sister fleet
And we will sail the seas of dreams and wake again to a brand new morning

Whatever happened?

This was the world we made
This was our great escape
This was the promise said to get us through
Let’s make our eyes unsee
How yellowed with age it’s been
Come on, let’s make believe it’s all still true
‘Cause I still need you

Let’s pretend we can be anything imagination schemes
And words like worry, doubt, and pain are banned from pulling at the seams
And when the sadness comes, it all gets wiped away with a kiss on the cheek

Whatever happened?

I need you more than ever
These seas are darker than we ever could have known
Depth and distance grow
You’re still the only one who knows
