‘Pretend’ is a tongue in cheek take on times spent dissociating on the couch at a party, and perhaps not quite hearing what the person next to you is saying...

lyrics

Let's start again, cause I can't pretend
To translate you, again and again and again

I don't know how, I got here
One more drink, and I won't know how to leave
I said, I don't understand that girl
You said, bullshit, you understand me well

I said, hey there, what's going on in here
Found myself again, at the bottom of a beer
Cause I don't know you, what did you just say
Can you repeat yourself, again and again and again

You said, I'm down, darling if you are
I said, show me, exactly where to start
I said, I can't hear a thing you said
You said, take my hand, I'll show you what I meant

Let's start again, my dear friend, you were wrong
Let's start again, my dear friend, I was wrong
Let's start again, again, again
