We meet for drinks at day time
For the first time
And all my lines you’ve heard
About a dozen times before
If I could make you want me, I could be myself at last (At last)
It’s a play and we’re just reading lines from the first act
But we don’t have to play along
We could get by on our own
So could we just not play along, long, long?
And when your salad hits the table, I sense
The regret that you will be starving later
When all I want is, is to connect to something real
Then I’ll go on about the weather
If I could take you by the hand and pull you close to me (To me)
Then I could shake this feeling like we’re playing out a scene
But we don’t have to play along
We could get by on our own
So could we just not play along?
‘Cause we both know where this goes
Now we don’t have to play
No, we don’t have to play along
No, we don’t have to play along, long, long
We kiss beneath the moonlight
And for the first time
I can feel light enough
To just be carried by the flow
If I could make you want me, maybe you could want to stay
If only for a moment of a day
Just long enough to shake these nerves away, ay, ay
If I could
If I could
Ooh, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah, oh-oh, hey
Hey-hey (Hm)
Hey-hey (Hey)
Hey-hey (Hey)
Oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
It’s a play
And we don’t have to play along, long (Along), long (Along), long
No, we don’t have to play
