"Pretend" Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Someone just told me that there's no tomorrow
And if that is true, I don't know what to do
Can't stand these troubles; I'm out of my head
Guess then I'm free to use them to clap and dance
'Member when we didn't know what to be?
I can admit that was somewhat bittersweet
Can't stand these troubles; I'm out of my head
Guess then I'm free to use them to clap and dance

[Chorus]
I turned out as great as they could; knock on wood
Things are going just as they should; knock on wood
I turned out as great as they could; knock on wood
Things are going just as they should; knock on wood

[Verse 2]
Someone just told me to leave all my sorrow
If that is true, I don't know who to be
Could be these troubles are part of the plan
Could be we need to ___? just to take a chance
So I forget what was taken from me
I will bequeath from the victor your vacancy
Tell them "these troubles are out of your head"
Tell them "you're free to use them to clap and dance"

[Chorus]
I turned out as great as they could; knock on wood
Things are going just as they should; knock on wood
I turned out as great as they could; knock on wood
Things are going just as they should; knock on wood

[Outro]
So far, so good
So far, so good
So far, so good
So far, so good
So far, so good
So far, so good
So far, so good
So far, so good
