no need to pretend (rewrite 1)

let me tell you

what it will be

the best of luck

for you and me

in our lifetimes

we will see

the answer to our dreams

all our great plans

are coming true

they're waiting here

for me and you

I can't wait to tell you

all the news

we're going to extremes

          the doors are open

          while we keep hoping

          that life will let us in

          days march by

          but still we try

          over and over again

          like there's no need to pretend

can you tell me

what lies in store

beyond the border

of my front door

it may not matter

anymore

but it's important to me

both of us

got a lucky break

I know it's there

for us to take

being alive

is not a mistake

how can I help you see?

          there's reason and rhyme

          but now it's time

          for our lives to begin

          as days pass by

          in hope we cry

          it's time to let us in

          there's no need to pretend
