Just Pretend
Love's Illusion: Embracing the Echoes of Elvis and Helene Fischer
Lyrics
Just pretend, I'm holding you
Expressing the idea of imagining a physical presence, creating a mental image of holding the person.
And whispering things soft and low
Suggesting the act of speaking softly and intimately, emphasizing a tender and affectionate communication.
And think of me, how it's gonna be
Encouraging the listener to contemplate the future, anticipating how the relationship will unfold.
Just pretend I didn't go
Asking the listener to pretend that the departure did not occur, invoking a sense of denial or wishful thinking.
When I walked away, I heard you say
Recalling a moment of departure, noting the other person's verbal expression as the singer walked away.
If you need me, you know what to do
Referencing a past understanding that if support is needed, there is a known course of action.
I knew it then, I'd be back again
Anticipating a return, suggesting a cyclic pattern of leaving and coming back.
Just pretend I'm right there with you
Encouraging the listener to imagine the singer's presence despite physical absence.
And I'll come flying to you, oh yes
Promising swift response and assistance when called upon.
All the crying is true
Acknowledging the reality of emotional distress and tears.
Oh, I will hold you and love you again
Committing to holding and loving again in the future, offering solace and reassurance.
But until then, we'll just pretend
Acknowledging the current need for pretense due to physical separation.
It's funny but I can't recall
Reflecting on a lapse in memory regarding past conversations and the reason for the partner's tears.
The things we said or why you're crying
Expressing a lack of clarity about past events, perhaps indicating confusion or regret.
But now I know it was wrong to go
Recognizing the mistake of leaving and asserting the singer's place beside the partner.
I belong here by your side
Affirming a sense of belonging and commitment to the relationship.
Yes, I'll come flying to you, oh yes
Reiterating the commitment to swiftly return when needed.
All the crying is true
Acknowledging the genuine nature of emotional pain and tears.
I will hold you and love you again
Reaffirming the intention to hold and love again, expressing enduring love.
But until then, we'll just pretend
Emphasizing the temporary nature of the separation and the reliance on pretense until the reunion.
Oh, I will hold you and love you again
Repeating the commitment to holding and loving once reunited.
But until then, until then, we'll just pretend
Underlining the persistence of the commitment and the reliance on pretense until the reunion occurs.
We'll just pretend
Concluding with a restatement of the reliance on pretense as a coping mechanism until the reunion happens.
