lyrics

Send a picture, babe
Quarter after three
Tell me what you want to do to me

I’m your dream girl
Hazy in your mind
Baby you fit into me like a hook into an eye

Let’s have an understanding
Let’s play pretend
I don’t need to see your edges
or your complicated bits

Let’s have an understanding
Let’s play pretend
We never really see each other
Cuz the glow’s where we live

I’m never gonna call it love
I’m never gonna open up
I’m never gonna let you closer than this
I’m never gonna be the one
So quit it with the real stuff
I’m never gonna let you closer than this

Give me what i want
This is how it works
You don’t get to know me
You don’t get to hurt me first

Let’s have an understanding
Let’s play pretend
I don’t care about your sister
Or your band from Michigan

Let’s have an understanding
Let’s play pretend
We never really see each other
Cuz the glow's where we live

I’m never gonna call it love
I’m never gonna open up
I’m never gonna let you closer than this
I’m never gonna be the one
Cuz I don’t need a real touch
I’m never gonna let you closer than this

Don’t you wanna call it love?
You really wanna let me closer than this

Saying I could be the one
This could be the real stuff
But I won’t ever let you closer than this
