Information kept to myself,
and everybody wants to know.
I trust the words of no one else,
cause I've been there before,
your voice is wasted 'cause I'm not listening.

These calloused fingers are wrapped around a black ball-point pen,
These eyes don't wander as far as they at one time did,
I've seen the future, it's fading faster.

No place that I'd rather be, than right here, right now.
No time that I'd rather be than right here, right now.

I'm on the other end begging you:
"Pick up the phone!"
A shaking whisper is answering,
"Don't call anymore!
Your voice is wasted 'cause I'm not listening."

Freeze me in this moment, thaw me in ten years,
When the fires burned out and the smoke clears.

No place that I'd rather be, than right here, right now.
No time that I'd rather be, than right here, right now.

Let's just pretend! (x3)
Let's just pretend, tonight will never end!
Let's just pretend! Let's just pretend, tonight will never end!

No place that I'd rather be, than right here, right now.
No time that I'd rather be than right here, right now.
