playing pretend

got your passport, holding it outstretched
got your card and your address stated on it
maybe you just want to grow up
maybe you don't know what you want

so you sit in the car
watching the world go by around you
trucks just in traffic, killing time
you're tired of waiting for the ride
because you know deep down that the drive will never end
and you are sick of playing pretend

you drag your suitcase over the county line
and i was convinced that something wasn't right
but at the time i didn't question it
because you were sick of masking up everything
i just waited

so you sit in the car
watching the world go by around you
trucks just in traffic, killing time
you're tired of waiting for the ride
because you know deep down that the drive will never end
and you are sick of playing pretend

you try to tell me something
but i keep hearing nothing
you don't seem to make any sense
but am i careless?
you seem inside of your head
and i don't know what to say about this

so you sit in the car
watching the world go by around you
trucks just in traffic, killing time
you're tired of waiting for the ride
because you know deep down that the drive will never end
and you are sick of playing pretend
so stop playing pretend
stop entering your own head
can you please let me in?
i want to help you
don't want to bury
the old you
i can try to help you
but you have to want me to help you
