Been going down
Down to London town
Catching trains to Southend
High street's long and grey
Just like yesterday
All these grey days let's pretend
That we're having fun
That we're gonna be someone
That there's no doubts in our heads
That we're still in that dream
That we once believed
And all these grey days don't exist
The first night you told me you loved me was like those first nights we hung out
You were scared to look me in the eye
For hours I sat at the foot of your bed as you slept after your night out
Waiting for the sun to rise
I didn't know what it meant but it made me smile as I stared into the sky
From underneath the half-open silver blind
The morning glow lit the buildings around as the square slowly came alive
And lives went on below like yours and mine
So let's keep pretending
Let's keep pretending
Let's keep pretending
Let's keep pretending
Let's keep pretending
Let's keep pretending
Let's keep pretending
Let's keep pretending
