Information kept to myself and everybody wants to know,
I trust the words of no one else cause I´ve been there before,
Your voice is wasted ´cause I´m not listening

These callused fingers are wrapped around a black ball-point pen,
These eyes don´t wander as far as they at one time did,
I´ve seen the future, it´s fading faster

No place that I´d rather be than right here, right now
No time that I´d rather be than right here, right now

I´m on the other end begging you, pick up the phone,
A shaking whisper is answering, don´t call anymore
Your voice is wasted ´cause I´m not listening

Freeze me in this moment,
Thaw me in ten years, (thaw me in ten years)
When the fire´s burned out and the smoke (clears)

No place that I´d rather be than right here, right now
No time that I´d rather be than right here, right now

Let´s just pretend
Let´s just pretend
Let´s just pretend, let´s just pretend,
Tonight will never end
Let´s just pretend, let´s just pretend,
Tonight will never end

No place that I´d rather be than right here, right now
No time that I´d rather be than right here, right now
