Pretend He's You
Moving On in Neon Nights: Pretending He's You
Lyrics
I went heavy on the bottle
I coped heavily with alcohol
Tryin' to wash down your memory
Attempting to erase your memory
I got tired of being numb
I grew weary of feeling emotionally numb
So I got some new ink on my sleeve
I got a new tattoo as a symbolic change
My girls took me out for some downtown fun
My friends took me out for a night in the city
In the neon night I met someone
Amidst the bright city lights, I encountered someone
I can hold hands and
I can engage intimately
Lean in on a slow dance
Share moments during a slow dance
Get lost in his sweet talk till quarter past 2
Immerse myself in his charming words until late at night
I can have dinner at his mama's
I can partake in family dinners
Like I'm movin' on but there's one thing I can't do
But there's one thing I cannot do
Pretend he's you
Feign that he's you
He's Harley boots and leather
He embodies a rugged look with motorcycle gear
When I'm ridin' on the back of his bike
When I'm riding with him on his bike
He's my need for speed
He represents the thrill of high-speed riding
On 2 wheel adrenaline high
A rush of adrenaline on two wheels
It should be love when your heart beats that fast
This excitement might feel like love momentarily
But a thrill like that ain't built to last
But it's a temporary thrill, not meant to endure
I can hold hands and
I can engage intimately
Lean in on a slow dance
Share moments during a slow dance
Get lost in his sweet talk till quarter past 2
Immerse myself in his charming words until late at night
I can have dinner at his mama's
I can partake in family dinners
Like I'm movin' on but there's one thing I can't do
But there's one thing I cannot do
Pretend he's you
Feign that he's you
That girl in the mirror
The reflection in the mirror now represents the heartbreaker
Now she's the heartbreaker
This image writes "faker" in bold red lipstick
Write it in red lipstick faker
I can hold hands and
I can engage intimately
Lean in on a slow dance
Share moments during a slow dance
Get lost in his sweet talk till quarter past 2
Immerse myself in his charming words until late at night
I can have dinner at his mama's
I can partake in family dinners
Like I'm movin' on but there's one thing I can't do
But there's one thing I cannot do
Pretend he's you
Feign that he's you
