Make Believe
Make Believe in Love: Dreamy Romance Unveiled
Lyrics
The game of "just supposing" is the sweetest game I know,
The act of imagining or supposing things is a delightful pastime.
Our dreams are more romantic than the world we see.
Our dreams are often more idealistic and beautiful than reality.
And if the things we dream about don't happen to be so,
If the things we dream of don't come true, it's not a significant problem.
That's just an unimportant technicality
Discrepancies between dreams and reality are not important.
We could make believe I love you,
Suggesting the idea of pretending to love someone.
Only make believe that you love me.
Proposing mutual make-believe affection.
Others find peace of mind in pretending,
Some find comfort by pretending or imagining.
Couldn't you? Couldn't I? Couldn't we
Asking if both parties could engage in this pretense.
Make believe our lips are blending
Imagining that their lips are merging in a kiss.
In a phantom kiss, or two, or three?
Extending the imagined kiss to multiple instances.
Might as well make believe I love you,
Continuing the suggestion of pretending to love.
For to tell the truth, I do.
Admitting that, in truth, the love is genuine.
Your pardon I pray, 'twas too much to say,
Apologizing for saying too much, revealing heartfelt emotions.
The words that betray my heart.
Expressing that words have betrayed true feelings.
We only pretend, you do not offend,
Stating that pretending doesn’t cause offense.
In playing a lover's part.
Highlighting the act of playing roles in a romantic scenario.
Though the cold and brutal fact is you and I have never met,
Addressing the stark reality that the two have never met.
We need not mind convention's P's and Q's,
Suggesting that social norms shouldn’t restrict their thoughts.
If we put our thoughts in practice we can banish all regret
Imagining they can overcome regrets by imagining freely.
Imagining most anything we choose
Encouraging the idea of imagining anything they desire.
We could make believe I love you,
Reiterating the concept of pretending to love.
Only make believe that you love me.
Reiterating the mutual make-believe of affection.
Others find peace of mind in pretending,
Referencing others finding solace in pretending.
Couldn't you? Couldn't I? Couldn't we
Asking if both parties could engage in this pretense.
Make believe our lips are blending
Imagining their lips blending in phantom kisses.
In a phantom kiss or two, or three?
Extending the idea of multiple imagined kisses.
Might as well make believe I love you,
Reaffirming the notion of pretending to love.
For to tell the truth, I do.
Asserting the genuine love despite the pretense.
