From the recording Single Subject Notebook
Playin Make Believe
Raindrops on the window
There’s a draft in the hallway
Clock’s beating time in my ears
I reach for a shadow
On the sheets where I’m sleeping
Pretending that you’re body’s still here
I’m playing make believe
With your memory
Holding on to hopeful dreams
Praying you’ll come back to me
Like a child in a reverie
I’m playing make believe
Alarm goes off at six o’clock
Pour two cups of coffee
It’s a silly habit I don’t want to break
I tell you that I’m sorry
Silence only answers in this space
I’m playing make believe
With your memory
Holding on to hopeful dreams
Praying you’ll come back to me
Like a child in a reverie
I’m playing make believe
If you could see how I’m suffering
You’d see I don’t want to face reality
I know I hurt you so bad baby
I can’t stand the possibility that you’ll never come back to me
So I’m playing make believe
With your memory
Holding on to hopeful dreams
Praying you’ll come back to me
Like a child in a reverie
I’m playing make believe
