Do you still feel younger than you thought you would by now Or, darling, have you started feeling old yet Don't worry, I'm sure that you're still breaking hearts With the efficiency that only youth can harness And do you still think love is a Laserquest Or do you take it all more seriously I've tried to ask you this in some daydreams that I've had But you're always busy being make-believe And do you look into the mirror to remind yourself you're there Or have somebody's good-night kisses got that covered Well I'm not being honest, I'll pretend that you were just some lover Now I can't think of air without thinking of you I doubt that comes as a surprise And I can't think of anything to dream about I can't find anywhere to hide And when I'm hanging on by the rings around my eyes And I convince myself I need another And for a minute it gets easier to pretend that you were just some lover When I'm pipe and slippers and rocking chair Singing dreadful songs about something Well I've found a better method of pretending you were just some lover Well I've found a better method of pretending you were just some lover
