Lyrics
I found my true love when I was just a young girl
We bought lots of books and music and traveled the world
After two kids and some time on the road, plenty more than my guitars have been towed
Only now do I know what true love is at each day?s end, but sometimes we pretend
I thought that I answered a call, a call from the divine
I took up the cause and stepped to the head of the line
Then all these people were following me and I worried that we would all drown in the sea
Only now do I know what it means to lead a friend, but sometimes we pretend
Pretend that we know a lot
Sometimes we pretend
Pretend that we found the way
And we pray what fear isn?t real
And we hope what is real is our truth
Having committed our souls and our youth
Sometimes we pretend
[guitar solo]
So we try to return to our roots for better or worse
And hope that our choice brings a blessing and not a curse
We confess our mistakes and the sins we regret
With grand revelations to cancel our debt
But another year will bring us to this point all over again
But sometimes we pretend
Pretend that we know a lot
Sometimes we pretend
Pretend that we found the way
And we pray what fear isn?t real
And we hope what is real is our truth
Having committed our souls and our youth
Sometimes we pretend
