lyrics

Oh, alternate reality
I will be what ever you need me to be

Put on this hat
Grab that coat there
Time to become someone else

I’ll wear my best lipstick
You'll pour on the charm
We can be whoever we want

To step out of our rough-draft skin
And dive into the night
To make believe that it all works out
Though the fire’s at your door
It burns so red white and blue
Oh take me out of here with you

Let’s play pretend
I’ll be the monster that’s howling for you
You be the shadow that wraps around us so carefully

I wish that I had a different background
I wish that you weren’t so pixelated
By the way... do you know how to keep breathing?

Don’t take your eyes off me
But don’t drain your battery
Let’s just be whoever we want

I’ll be wearing red in a broken room
(As seen from behind the curtains)
You'll be changing shape in the pale moonlight
Just to jump out when I look away

Oh it’s getting hard to take
I wish that I was right there by your side
Help me find the alternate reality tonight

Let’s play pretend
You be the monster that’s howling for you
I'll be the shadow that wraps around us so carefully

You are so unreal
You are so unreal
Let’s play pretend
I'll be the monster that’s howling for you
You be the shadow that wraps around us so carefully

Let’s play pretend
I’ll be the monster
You be the shadow
