Pretender Lyrics by ​jais

Summer Bucket List

2024

[Verse 1]
It's been a while since we last talked
I've been meaning to call you
Did you finish your college ap's
Or run away to be someone new?
How are things with mom and dad?
It's okay, you can tell me the truth
I can't imagine the year you've had
Growin' quicker than you wanted to

[Chorus]
Sent you a letter, did you read what I wrote?
I'm in love with the weather, and the girl on my phone
I'ma go get her, and I miss you the most
But I feel better when I'm not at home
You've been on a bender, and you took that tone
2nd of November, you forgot your coat
I'm a pretender, and I miss you the most
Do you feel better when you're not at home?

[Bridge]
(You were lookin' for me)
(You were lookin' for me)
(You were lookin' for me)
(You were lookin' for me)
(You were lookin' for me)
(You were lookin' for me)
(You were lookin' for me)
(You were lookin' for me)

[Verse 2]
I left you sooner than summers end
Always hangin' out at Ella's house
I heard you made a couple new friends
They're kinda funny, but they're not my crowd
I know you thought we'd have the weekend
But instead, I was skippin' town
I can't imagine how the year ends
And I'm sorry that I let you down

[Bridge]
(But I see it now)
(See it now)
(Yeah, I see it now)
(You were lookin' for me)
(You were lookin' for me)
(Wanna see it now)
(You were lookin' for me)
(You were lookin' for me)
(See it now)
(You were lookin' for me)
(You were lookin' for me)
(See it now)
(You were lookin' for me)
(You were lookin' for me)
(But I see it now)

[Chorus]
Sent you a letter, did you read what I wrote?
I'm in love with the weather, and the girl on my phone
I'ma go get her, and I miss you the most
But I feel better when I'm not at home
You've been on a bender, and you took that tone
2nd of November, you forgot your coat
I'm a pretender, and I miss you the most
Do you feel better when you're not at home?
